I did a 9mm mod to mine. I started with a 11/32 drill bit because I couldnt find a 9mm bit at Home Depot or Lowes. 11/32 works out to be .34375, 9mm is .35433. So to get the final .01058 I use a Dremel.

The mod will hold you over, but for how long? I say get yourself the VP plates. They a straight, properly CNCed, and have 2 10mils and 1 9mil. |

How likely will the bearings fail if you dont do the mod or buy the vp plates?
