[OT] Machine shop in Kearny Mesa / Mission Valley area?

[DJA]

You're not kiddin'! I was going to respond to your original request for 
info, but figured you'd get at least a dozen names of machine shops. I 
thought you were quite clear in what you needed - slightly bigger holes.

This thread is what happens when you ask geeks something non-computer. 
I'm surprised someone hasn't suggested CAD software yet of offered 
blueprints.

Cutting oil, rat-tail files, dremel tools, reamers, liquid wrench, 
sheesh!! Obviously, all that is needed is a power drill motor, bit, and 
a clamp. Oh, and a sample screw so you can size the bit (1).

You can find both at the NAPA Auto Parts and machine shop on Convoy Ct. 
in Kearny Mesa. I think they're on the corner of Convoy Ct. and Ruffner. 
Big blue building, can't miss it. Best to go into the back, directly 
into the machine shop.

(1) I assume that the metal is typical die-cut mild steel; nothing exotic.
