L-Track 1/8" Drill Guide
L-Track 1/8" Drill Guide
Share
When we started using L-Track for van builds and other applications we found that it can be quite difficult to accurately measure where to drill the mounting holes since the drilling surface is recessed. To accurately and quickly drill pilot holes we created these drill Jigs for a 1/8" drill size.
The jigs can be ordered with a centered hole or an offset one. Ideally you are able to use a centered hole on the 1" on-center spacing in the L-track but in some circumstances you may need a bit of an offset. For example, in the Ram Promaster 159" WB model a couple of the factory holes are spaced at 10.9" rather than 11". Sure, you could drill a hole at 9" or 12" and avoid this factory hole altogether but its always best to use pre-existing holes when possible. So we created the offset jig!
The drill guide worked really well when it worked but among the five brands of track I’m working with the actual dimensions vary enough that it has a lot of slop in several of them. If all the tracks actually had the 3/4 holes it would be a great tool. And I don’t know of a convenient way to tighten things up.
Awesome. It makes my drilling accurate and faster. Very please. Highly recommend.
I wish the steel guide was longer so it would drill more accurate. It could be longer and stick out the. Bottom of the 3D printed part, and I wish the insert didnt break loose on the third hole I drilled. Will it work for the rest of my van build... probably, could the build quality be better and fetch a higher sale price? Absolutely!
Well made and very accurate. Very impressed!
at first, I questioned the product and after receiving it it will make my install easy as i can mark and drill pilot hole easy. the steel drill guide should last a long time. The one I made is not as sturdy as it does not self-center in the hole so hold can be off but so glad I was able to google and find/
