Default quick drill mod question

just drilled the line w/ the 1/8 bit. i went in about an inch w/ it. is the bit supose to be able to push in farther than the inch i drilled it. meaning did i drill enough? the bit stops at the point i stopped drilling. im guessing the inside dia of the hose isnt 1/8?

Keep drilling! It's a little more than an inch. It should go until the bit can go in completely with no stop (ie: until the drill bottoms out). The restriction was a lot deeper than I was expecting it to be. But so far, my clutch seems to be working great! (I just drilled the clutch line ~2 or 3 weeks ago).

Yeah, I got it done two weeks ago. just make sure all the threaded part of the bit gets into the hole (thats what she said haha). and your good.

Well worth the effort.

the key to this mod is wraping the hydralic line with high heat tape! you would be amazed at how long the clutch fluid can stay clear! lol
