My apologies that my first post is one asking for information. I have read a lot of threads and tried some searching for this info.

I have just received a Coyle metal kit and am making sure i have all the tools needed in order to make a start on this daunting (but exciting) project.

I was wondering if anyone has a listing of the drill bit sizes. Rich was kind enough to include a set of taps, but I need to buy the drill bits. As i am in the UK i will probably have to buy them online as we use a different system here.

Unfortunately i cant get to photobucket at work, so i cant review Rich's instructions at the moment.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Welcome Uridium Your best bet is to PM Rich directly; his handle on Propsummit is Racprops.

Good luck with the build and looking forward to see updates soon!

Thanks Rich. Its actually the Drill Bit sizes I'm after. You already made my build easier by supplying a set of taps with my kit.

From reading your instruction sheet with the notes, I believe I'm going to have to source the following Drill Bits from the USA.

#1
#2
#11
#12
#14
#18
#21
#26
#28
#29
#30
#33
#35
#38
#43
#44
#45
#46
#50
#52

If anyone has any comments or corrections it would be really helpful.

Also if anyone knows a reputable supplier (i'm in the UK, but will buy from overseas if possible), please let me know.

Cheers!

Harbor Freight has a nice set of numbered drill bits:

1 to 60 and $20.00 plus shipping.

Rich that is perfect, thanks.

They don't look very international friendly, but that is solvable. Will get a set sent to my Dad's place (Florida) and have him ship to me in England.

Cheers!!!!!

Yep... I went with Plan B

Having them sent to a Hotel that my Wife is visiting (In the US) next week. She can then bring them back in her luggage.
