im trying to fit a towel rail bumper on to super bumper brackets. i need to have square holes for the bumper bolts.
any ideas on where to buy square drill bits?:duh
or how to make square holes in the bumper, they will be re chromed in the future, so im not to fussed about heat marks etc.
Drill a small hole and get cracking with a small die grinder?
I think you will find they were punched from the factory. Unless you have a substantial hydraulic press and a good square punch the die grinder will
be your best bet.
Or use a drill bit slightly smaller than the width of the square and file the rest out with a square file.
you can buy square hole punches.
Drill hole - put bolt through - do up and it "pulls" a square cutting bit through into a "block" on the other side.
Use to use them when i made switchboards
Mate.. I found that number for the chroming..

Or alot of engineering or sheet metal places have large hole punch machines,
They usually have all sorts of dies..where I used to work years ago we had a machine for doing such things...amazing the thickness of sheet the can
pinch through.
Obviously this will cost folding stuff.
Break out the file
