Advice on drilling
 
I have some Yokomo rear hubs which I will be fitting to my Tamiya for the weekend. The hingepin holes need to be enlarged. Is it ok to run a drill through them, or do I risk altering the the toe in? Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

you'd probably be better of using a reamer but not the type used for making holes in wings ;)

Where do I get one of those?

tapered reamer is your best bet, and any decent tool shop.

forgive my ignorance, but is B&Q a decent tool shop. I might go down and ask to see if they have anything here at the factory to do this aswell.

If I dont manage to get one, will I end up making a mess of it with a drill?

I would search the yellow pages for a small tool shop, they generally have much more experienced people working there.

hudy etc do hinge pin reamers

Thanks for all of your advice, it seems we have the gear here in the factory to do it.
