Oleo Help was created by Phil Ford
Discovered some oleos in my "parts store" aka "did not know I had them" that are better quality than the ones that I put on Pennzoil Chipmunk. The latter used 3mm screws in loose guides which gave the wheels alternating toe-in, toe out. The discovered ones were, I believe machined down by David T a few years a go. Cannot remember where I purchased them from either. They use 4mm grub screws and slide in the guides much, much better.

What I need help with is to drill accurately/centrally some 6mm bores in the tops 15mm down from the first ridge. Maybe take off the top stump if necessary.

Yes, easy to do if you have a pillar drill or lathe, Pete. I have neither. Why, I still use a hand drill and bit for everything..... ;)

When it comes to essential power tools, my number one would be a Dremmel (or similar) and next is a pillar drill. Mine's a bottom of the range B&Q one that has served me well for years. If you bought fewer models, Phil, you've have plenty of cash to buy one and space to house it too :P

Phil, If nobody else has already been awarded the contract to fix your legs bring them to Cashmoor tomorrow and I'll do them for you.
