Drill Bit Size For 510 Connector?

[WillieB69]

Ok... yet another silly question.
What size drill bit do I need for a 510 connector?

The LED's are easy to figure out at 5mm and according t mad vapes, the horn switch needs a 3/4 hole. The only thing I haven't found a size for are the 510 connectors.

11/32

I had a hard time finding one, hopefully you'll have better luck.

Cool. Thanks.

Google "11/32 drill bit". I got tons of hits.

I'm gonna hit up the big hardware chains this afternoon before I Google. I need to find a new soldering iron anyway. My tip is too big for electronics work and doesn't take adapters.

Just a thought for soldering equipment, but you might want to check out this place..... https://store.sra-solder.com/product.php?xProd=6145
They have some great pricing and the quality of products is very good. What they sell looks to be rebranded Pace equipment when I took one apart and checked the components. I bought a combo soldering / hot air station / desoldering gun and have been using it professionally for going on 3 yrs. now with not a problem. You can pick up a soldering station with plug in tips so you can change tips on the fly. They come with a little "hot pad" to hold the hot tip when you go to remove it. Their selection of tips is great plus they have all sorts of other cool equipment for soldering / brazing work.

PS..... hope is was OK to post live link..... apologies if I made a boo-boo

Its a M7 X 0.5mm Thread so you would need a 6.5mm drill bit
, What that is in Old Hat i have not got a clue .
You need to go metric

This is what I use! Got mine from Shucks/O'Rielly
Just hand twist to the 11/32 hole for most connectors I've come across

That's ID with threading. 11/32 for OD and mounting the connector

I doubt it's a 3/4" hole. The switch body isn't even that big. 1/2" is what I use for my horn switches.

These are the ones I use, they should be the same size.

I may be a bit (punn) late on this but,,, for those that haven't already drilled their holes.
The 11/32 drill bit for the OD is if you want to drop it into the hole. (like a plastic or wood box) it will need to be smaller if you want to tight press fit like into alum. so that you don't need to glue it in. (or wire the ground side if the case/mod is conductive)

I got an 11/32 at Lowe's. I think it's a Hitachi bit.
