So you wouldn't recommend running the bit from the inside out and taking a little bit off the steering box hole? Better to drill out the tube instead? How's about if I took a dremel to the tubing lip from the outside, leaving the steering box hole intact, and when I finally got enough material removed from the tube,run a 1/2" bit through to get it to line up? *whew* Pretty good runon sentence there! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
