I was just wondering which kit and from where all of you who have done this mod got yours. My ball joints need replaced, so now the little lady won't notice. Besides, I'm doing this "So it doesn't do it again"
a '65-'66 car which moves the holes front-to-back (or is it back-to-front?) and does NOT form a rectangle with square corners.
This is an old post but informative, Thank You. I’ve been searching for info and advice, found too much unnecessary work or pathways.
The tip on the 17/32 bit, YES - so true! I recently discovered the issue. A sharp step bit with the largest step being 1/2” - you’re good. Take your time. Worked for me.
If any of you are still willing to offer more frontend tips . . . I’m listening.
Thanks Again

I used a steel template from Street or Track...the layout was fine,but 1/2" makes it easy to damage the threads(....at least when I re-installed the OEM 50+ year old I6 UCAs) 17/32" is the right size. In reality, 1/32" isnt going to make any difference...even 1/16" large isnt likely to do anything, always assuming its correctly torqued down, not that you SHOULD go larger than absolutely needed.Do your layout work carefully and 1/2" is fine. I cringe when I see people over-size holes to make up for the wrong location, especially on front end components.
