Started the process of attaching the nose fork to the nose strut. Marked the location of the nose strut on the fork per plans. Laid out the 6 hole locations and pilot drilled the strut. Reassembled onto fork and drilled through the strut into the fork. Began upsizing holes towards 1/4", but my larger bits were having trouble eating through the steel strut plate. Will pick up some better bits tomorrow in the aviation dept of Lowes or Home Depot.
