I need to find an engineering company that is capable of riffle drilling a set of steel rods.

I purchased the rods but didn't click the correct option.
The manufacturer has said I can return them for drilling but it's going to take a while.

There must be some one in the Uk who is able to drill the rods for me?

Any ideas?

 

Hi mate
Its called gun drilling there are quite a few companys that will do it for you but its not cheap
Try google

Thanks for the heads up,

Most of the rod companies advertise it as Riffle drilling but at least I know what to look for now.

Would you think £25 per rod?

 

Might be easyer to buy the drill bit then ask as company to drill it

 

Where would I buy such drill bit from?

 

Its not the drill bit that's the issue, its finding someone competent enough to drill a straight hole and not breach you new rods.

Do you need to?
What application are they to be used for?

 

Is it essential they are drilled ?

 

It's for a Cupra R 1.8t.

The standard cast rods are riffle drilled so VW/AUDI see it as necessary and it is recommended that they are.

It's not so bad on a track car as the car see's high Rpm alot but mine is a daily road car and will be on low RPM quite a bit so it would be a benefit.

I'll be running around 400bhp, Either Td05-20g or GT35.

 

Give Steve a shout here, I'm sure they'd be able to do it
