Sorry for the quite late delay, but I did the "whole/hole" job myself. I have just a standard machinist drill set from #0-80, A-Z, and 1/16 - 1/2. That gets you close enough for just about anything. If your after a hole that you don't quite have, then use a smaller bit with a slice of shim stock of the proper thickness on one flute of the drill to make it run out of round, and thus drill out a bigger hole. Obviously, you need to do this when opening up a larger hole, not drilling one.
Hope this helps, and FYI I'm a tool and die grade machinist by trade.

If you were able to do this yourself (I have a machinist's drill press available for my use) where did you purchase the drill bit (Brownell's??) and was it a special type of bit?
Thanks for helping me out.
