Can I Drill A Leaf Spring...??

Is it realistic to be able to enlarge the centre hole in my leaf spring at home with a drill press and standard drill bits?

 

make sure you have a high quality bit, go slow, you'l be ok.

 

Lube.

 

i drilled some springs right through all the leaves to make a 1/4 eliptic set-up
drilled just fine for me

 

Does a wild bear....nevermind. Yeah, you can do it. Lot's of 'cutting fluid' and some cobalt bits, and you'll be just fine. Why, per say, is this modification being made?

 

Its a long story but basically I have to use a rear Model 'A' spring bolt on the front spring. The rear spring bolt is bigger on the shank.

Just drilled them all out and it worked fine. Thanks guys.
