Went to drill the channel holes for the rear bearing support. I made a template as indicated by the assembly guide and HBH videos, but somehow still got the holes mis-drilled so they did not align with the pre-drilled holes in the bearing. Spent too long attempting to re-shape the bearing to make it fit, and did eventually get the bolt through, but that put the bottom holes out of alignment. Finally realized I would have to bite the bullet and order a new bearing, channel, and lower doubler. This is one pair of holes that have to be right the first time. Drilled out the rivets necessary to remove those parts. They are on order now. As I suspected, the rubber bearing is the most expensive of the parts at about $180, with the other parts totaling around $70. Ouch! Hopefully, I can at least repurpose some of the scrap parts later when I need to fabricate brackets and such for finishing. I'm being laid off from work at the end of the week, so maybe my head wasn't fully in the game. Guess I need to run a pre-build session self checklist.
