[DeTomaso] ARP bolts for the brake calipers

[Ken Green]

I found these 1/16 cobalt drills that are pretty cheap:

is 1/16 (0.0625") OK for safety wire?  Seems like cobalt drills would be a good choice.  But I thought that cap head screws were usually grade 8.

It's really not that hard to drill proper 0.048" holes in the stock 
bolt-heads for safety wire.... Sure, they're gr-5-equivalent metric bolts, but as 
long as they don't get loose, they seem to do the job. FWIW- J Deryke
