    I looked online for a 7.2mm drill bit to use on for the holes for the eccentric spacers and found it but I cannot find the 5.1mm drill bit for the standard holes. Any ideas on where to find it? 5.2mm I have easily found but that .1mm larger than is called for can make for a tad loose of a fit.

    I think you should be fine with the .1mm once things are bolted into place. Other then this if you could mill them out that would work to get the 5.1 fit.

    You'll find 13/64" and 9/32" fit nicely if you have access to imperial bits.
