I hope someone can steer me in the right direction, 'cause, at this point, I am just chasing my tail!  

 

 601XL, fuselage spar center section, upright supports.  The photo guide tells me to remove one of the uprighs to get to the outboard row of spar mounting bolt holes.  I am to use a drill guide bushing in the hole to drill a pilot hole in the remaining upright, or a transfer punch.  It seems that transfer punches only come in sets.  I only need one size.  There is a picture of a drill guide bushing, but no clue as to where to get one.  Any suggestions?

Jay, Harbor Freight has a cheap set of transfer punches and trust me once you have them there is no way you will only use just the one. I have used several different ones in the planes and they come in real handy sometimes.

Jay--

  I went through the same self discussion before I decided to just make a 

transfer punch.  I had a piece of 5/16 steel rod and turned it in a drill 

with a file.  Final tool worked fine.  It wasn't hardened but I only had to 

use it for 4 holes.

Mark, Thanks.  I have never been in a Harbour Freight store.  I didn't even know they had stores here in the Dallas area.  Guess it's about time I paid them a visit.  I see, on their on-line catalog, a transfer punch set for about eight bucks.  What I have seen elsewhere were ten times that!

 

 Thanks again - Jay
