Torque Tube holes

Doug, I used the same method as Bob did. The spacing is a little more
than 7/8" between holes (actually .884").

Doug, The method I used to drill the tube holes was to wrap a 1" wide
piece
of paper around the tube, mark the overlap, remove and lay flat. This is
now
the circumference of the tube. Run a line down the center which is now
the
1/2" required from the end, mark the line into even (8) distances and
retape
onto the tube and &quotdrill away". I actually made many of these
templates for
all tube ends.-Bob J &quotREBEL 652"

I have one more question what is the best way to measure and mark
the
torque tubes for drilling the eight evenly spaced holes?
