drilling out AGA-T+

[armoworrior]

ive been trying to find out if anyone has drilled out the wick holes on the AGA-T/AGA-T+. i recently won a gift certificate for kidney puncher and wanted to get ceramic wicks but i can only find them in 7/64th and 1/8th. the AGA-T has a wick hole that is about 3/32nds but only slightly larger. I'm just worried that if i do drill it out too much or mess up that i will ruin the top deck. more importantly the threads on the the center post. they might be too close to the wick hole. can someone please help me out with this.

i drilled mine out. No problems as long as you drill straight.

I at one time used ceramic exclusively in various gennys. I loved the 3/32 size in my aga-t. when they discontinued that size I drilled out the aga to fit the 7/64 size, this meant I had to drill out to 1/8. this wasn't easy at all because I had the original aga-t which was ss and was a biaatch, in the end it did work and was fine.
