Never seen door-mounted cup holders like those before, Phil. Are they readily available?

Phil - please help me. I've got exactly the same problem. I'm trying to help someone who had their cat stolen. I'm working in the street. I tried to drill the stud yesterday but didn't get far, and I'm about to give up and then I saw your video. I'm going to have to grind remaining part of stud out first, and then I'll try again. What bit did you use? did you use a pilot to start the drill? Did you use any lubricant to cool the bit? What size bit did you use?

[@WOODSON777]

Hi Steven. I used a set of reverse thread drill bits off Amazon. The idea was that when they bite they pull the stud out. To be honest as long as you have good quality drill bits you should be fine. I would suggest keeping your drill on a slow speed setting so that you don’t burn out your drills and start with small bits and work up. When you get to the bigger drill bits it should let go at some point. I hope this helps. Let me know how you get on.

[@WOODSON777]

Use some tallow or similar lubricant to assist the drilling.

@@WOODSON777 Thank you. Just trying to help someone has it's turned into a monster. Did you have to retap the thread? I'm still trying to get my head around how you managed to get the hole dead center and not damage the thread.

[@WOODSON777]

@@stevenwreyford4570 well I am a joiner so I am pretty good with a drill. I managed to get the stud to move and come out leaving the original thread. Are you far from Warwickshire? I’ll come drill it for you if your local ;-)

@@WOODSON777 That's really kind of you to offer. I'm in London otherwise I'd pay you to help me do it. I'm new to rechargeable electric drills and angle grinders. What could possibly go wrong?!
