Good advice Paul...most of my belly holes were done before I had the grommets in hand. I drilled the belly holes based on the grommet specs, but they were in 1/16 increments, not 1/64. Needless to say if I asked you this question weeks ago I wouldn't have started this thread, my grommets would be tighter fitting, and perhaps my disdain for them would be less...

Lesson learned is always consult the Professor first....

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
