Your probably right John but I remembered losing my temper trying to squeeze the washers over the bolt threads so I enlarged them. The reason that I used a larger bit will become self evident once you try to drill rubber. Especially Buna-N type rubber. I suppose a small rat tailed file in a drill might work better. BTW, here is a pic of a #8x32 showing it's metric o.d. dimension. I didn't mic it but the nominal measurement displayed here should be acceptable, in that we are just "Jury Rigging", anyway.
