<br />I started off by masking off all the holds that would not be used, to make sure no debree
got into the gearbox, and also made sure I did not drill out the wrong
holes. Now I did only one hole at a time and completely
finished that hole before starting on the next. This was it insure that the gearbox did not come apart,
or shift alignment. See Fig 3 below. images of <a href="#IGB">inside</a> the grearbox below.

<br />Use a drill press with a 5/64" drill bit, if possible, to drill out the first hole.
See Fig 4. Use a peace of wood with a 1/2 hole in it to allow for
the shaft of the gearbox to be down, and as a backer to the drill table. Do one hole at a
time.

<br />Then the screw hole has to be countersunk. I used a small countersink tool, to make sure I had the proper 60 Degree angle
for the countersink. Drill bits do not provide the proper countersink angle, and on something this precise,
it would be better it do it correctly. I also used the tool by hand. The plate is some type of metal.

As you can see from Fig 7, the Screws are a little to long.
You will need to file them down. Do not use any method that will heat the screw while shortening it.
