Increasing Spindle Hole On Record Weight

[RobbieGong]

How would I go about increasing the spindle hole area on the Alluminium Record weight I've just purchased ? I mean this should be fairly easy to do shouldn't it :scratch: ?
I have the Mike New bearing which has a bigger spindle than most stock bearings.

Use a nice sharp drill in a pillar drill to just drill it a bit bigger - of course, you need to know the exact diameter of the spindle first?

Actually, do you mean the spindle diameter is bigger or that it is longer, than usual?

Thanks H, I've emailed Mike New to ask the exact diameter of his bearing spindle :) The weight is very nice so dont want to bugger it up so to speak ;)

Guys !! Ever felt a right narna ??? I got the weight home from work, placed it it over the spindle and guess what?? Yep !! it slipped on and fitted like a glove ( I really didn't think it would when I received it at work :mental: Looks the absolute business too, sorry for my haste and thanks for the responses towards helping me out as always - top guys and a top forum :)

It's always nice when it just slips in the hole and fits like a glove!

Being nicknamed 'Tizer', by an ex-girlfriend, for me it's always a tight fit! :eyebrows:
