what drill bit for dimpling front torsion leaves??

[Rockbound]

ok been threw tons of good threads on narrowing and adding adjusters to the front i beams, but i can't seem to find what everyone is using to re dimple the leaves after cutting them down?

can some one supply a link to or any info on what type/size bit they are using please?

found this thread, but looking for more specific answer

also found to drill 1/8 pilot and then use 90 degree counter sink bit.. is this the best method or is something better now a days? that was an old thread..

This is what I used, then tapered the grub screws to match.

And here's how I went about it.

eye wood thunk, a 1/8 cobalt pilot bit to put a small divot where you want it and then a 5/16 ball endmill.possiably a 3/8 ballend mill it's been a while since I looked at the springs.
