    Fine Job. It looks as close to NOS as can be. Great job on the restore. I'll have to find me one of those drill bits.

    About that bit I'm using... I hadn't meant to be mysterious about it, I just didn't know what it was called. SRP member RoyalCake gave it to me a couple years ago, and the markings are very difficult to read. So all I knew was 'it's my special drill bit'. Not very useful to anyone but me, actually!

    Well, here's a link to where you can buy a set of them:

    They're high speed drill/countersink bits. Pricey, yes, but for drilling out razor pins, they should last forever. The one I'm using is a #2. Google turns up a lot of hits for drill countersink no. 2.
