Depth of lug holes (when not fully drilled)

[TeeJay]

I was just wondering if anyone knew how deeply the holes are drilled into lugs, when they are not drilled though completely? Is it just a few mm, or a bit deeper?

I recieved a Explorer 1 (1016) which has fake outer lugholes - I tried to push out the pins from the outside like a maniac, until I saw they don

Most that I have seen were drilled deep enough that the plug tip on a single or double flanged springbar will go in all the way to the shoulder. A few have been too shallow and had to be drilled out a little more by hand using a drill bit in a pin vice.

As long as there is enough depth to hold the springbar securely, everything is Ok.

plug = the part of the springbar that telescopes in and out of the springbar tube

plug tip = the part that goes into the lug
