nope, didn't
the problem was just just picked up the wrong bit - i was aiming for 3mm,
and then widen the hole from there if need be (1/8" is 3.17mm - there's
25.4mm to the inch) - ho hum metalwork is not my strong point, it's a
miracle that the holes are in a straight line
i think i'm going down the cylindrical LED & heatshrink route first
cheers
