Should be about 5mm for the body posts and about 7mm for the antenna hole. The rear one for the post is a little longer than wide, about 6 or 6.5mm - I don't know the english word but in german this is called a "Langloch" :D

Hi
Go see Ian and and get a reamer its way easier and one more tool you cant live without once you have it. A drill bit tears up the body. Around 10.00 bucks.
Missed you last fri.
