I would start small. Better to drill 2 or 3 times than to make it too big the first time! I'd go with 9/64ths first and see if you can tune it in with LS1Edit. Then try 11/64ths and tune it again with LS1Edit. I don't think you will have to go bigger than 11/64ths; but I'd start at 9/64ths to stay on the safe side. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
Did you happen to get this cam from someone in Tallahassee, FL USA?? This sounds VERY familiar. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
