I pilot hole is a hole that is drilled prior to drilling the final sized hole (or the next incremental step up towards final hole size). They're used to help guide and prevent larger drill bits from wandering... |

(After all, they are currently what the spinner is screwed into. :)) Mmkay, I get it, so the point is that there needs to be a 5/16ths hole there before anything goes into said hole, not that the insert nuts will expand an 1/8" hole out to 5/16ths. I'll have to think about it and decide if my drilling skills are sufficient to do that precisely enough. The reason I wanted to pull the spinner out in the first place has gone away (the source of the chatter has been found and lubed and now the spinner is totally silent! :)) so I might be able to just keep moving along, status-quo. But I thank you all for the help! |

Unfortunately I don't have any kicking around here (at least, nothing that isn't currently dedicated to crappy furniture and so is not suitable for scrap at the moment :)), but if I should come across some, I think I'll take a flyer on that. :) |

Can anyone tell me the size hole I should drill for the zippy joystick? Also is it the same size for the GGG Arcade Prime pushbuttons? |
