Hi Folks,
For my latest build I want to use a DS-9 style battery (with 21700's) in it. This style needs bottle cage bolts quite high up in the triangle and in my frame only one of them would line up. I want to add two more but further up the triangle my standard power drill won't fit so I can drill the holes vertical. I presume in metalwork there's a solution to this problem? Hopefully not requiring a $1000 jig with strange angular CV style rotating doohickeys.
As an alternative I seen Chalo link to some lovely chrome clamp things in another thread once. They look nice (going for the brushed metal look here) but balancing such a big pack on 3 clamps with what looks like 15mm diameter surface area looked a bit iffy. If there's no reasonable way to drill extra holes (i've done this before on my last build with no structural consequences) I guess I'll need to get creative.
TIA.
