sprkn_ranger Posted May 21, 2012 Report Posted May 21, 2012 Yea go buy a sharp 1/8th" drill bit made for drilling steel and start with that...also try spraying penetrating oil on it to lubricate the bit.

jpsaudio Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Posted May 22, 2012 ok ill go pick that up..i have a drill bit set but they might be dull also i picked up some bolts to properly bolt it to the frame, now is there something i need to spray over this to protect it?
sprkn_ranger Posted May 22, 2012 Report Posted May 22, 2012 First make sure the frame is sanded down to bare metal so it's shiny, and after the terminal is bolted on you can paint it so it doesn't rust.
