[QUOTE="Nanotech9, post: 329116, member: 676"] Well, some of the basics.... This is easy to do if you can mill the plastic off - much simpler than sanding or grinding it away, guranteed to have a flat clean surface. The holes? well, honestly i use a set of 1911 grips in place to mark the start point for the holes. I use the same bit for marking the holes as i use for cutting the holes in 1911 grips. You'll need a set of 1911 grip bushings, and a tap. The tap is: [B]0.236" - 60[/B] Midwayusa.com sells it [URL="http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=941293&t=11082005"]HERE...[/URL] for $20 + shipping You drill the holes as far as you want. the plastic wall is very thin. Go all the way through. Use a drill about 30ths smaller than the outside diameter of the tap. i'm sure you could go as small as 40ths as the tap will just thread into the plastic w/o problems. Its super easy with the right tools. Incredibly frustrating w/o them i would imagine. [/QUOTE]
