what size bit for maxx rod ends

[Maxx4life]

i just got some 6/32 all threaded rod and some maxx rod ends. the maxx ends are too small for the rod to thread into so i need to drill the ends out. what size drill bit do i need?

please respond soon because i want to call my dad at work and have him bring home the bit.

thanks

thanks for the help but that makes no sence. i somebody knows the size bit (i.e. 1/8") that would be great.

What's so hard about that?

use a 6/32 tap and just tap the threads into it.

That's the eaisiest way definately. But a 7/64 bit works with a 6/32 tap.
