[QUOTE="Johnnyboy11, post: 518517, member: 35954"] When I did mine I believe I used a 3/16 bit. The holes are right at 1/4 inch. I would definitely add some drain holes to the framing underneath because those side channels don't drain at all. There's some foam under there but the bulk of it is in the back bench and pods plus some under the casting deck. I had to cut some of the aluminum on the sides out to access the foam underneath in the outer most channels under the floor. I buttoned mine back up temporarily last week, I used 1/4 inch aluminum rivets, because I kept breaking rivet nut setters, and the rivet nuts didn't have enough grab to hold tight. Eventually I may replace them with stainless rivets for strength but idk. [/QUOTE]
