You can download the necessary template, print it, drill and the square. I use an automatic center punch to mark the square, remove template once the square is punched.

You’ll need a drill bit and the correct tap.

The fixture Hans produced is pretty simple. And while it's the easiest route to perfectly placed holes, downloading and printing the template is a great alternative. Just give some attention to the details.

Cheese,

I received my drill jig from TSO last week to drill the extra holes in my older GRS-16 and GRS-16 PE. Per the instructions I used a 5mm drill bit to drill the holes and then attempted to tap the holes with an M5x1 tap. The tap would is too small to thread the holes. You have any idea what I am missing?

Thanks

Jack, here is the link for the instructions.  After drilling the holes with the 5mm drill, use an M6 tap to cut threads in the holes.

Thanks guys! I figured it out last night. The printed instructions that came with the guide use M6x1 tap in the intro but in the step by step instructions it says to use an M5x1. Instruction number 5. So, should have paid more attention to the instruction lead in paragraph ;-)

Jack

Interesting, Jack.  Are the instructions that came with the guide different from the instructions available for download?

Yes, the numbering for the steps is different but the step that tells you to "Tap..." the hole has the tap size at M5x1. The top of the instructions has the M6x1 tap.
