this is a quick pic layout of what i did on mine. I run the racke, use the bags maybe 30% of the time.
per connie_rider's suggestions on an older post, I used a bolt to transfer witness marks ontot he inside of the cover for the drill points. so, its an M8 bolt. Luckily, i had an m8 body bolt (think it came off a ford ranger) with a very sharp point. I cut the head off, it needs to be a minimum of 1.12 long tip to end of threads. i then backed it in the bolt holes and pushed the covers onto the pointy bit to make a mark. the front hole was about an inch out, back was 5/8 out. (pics show). then center drill, then 7/8" hole (antler is 0.800" diameter) with proper hole saw (step bit would probably work) and done.
here's the pics. very happy with the cleaner results. pics taken w phone so not perfet:
rear
front
verify before drilling the big hole. camera is at an angle but the end lined up looking straight on:
hope that helps someone. :beerchug:
