To avoid me taking off my bath taps and measuring the tail can someone
tell me
the outside diameter of the tail so I know which size holesaw to buy to
drill my
new bath .?.............Any tips for doing this ....I'm proposing to
protect the
bath with masking tape before I drill the holes ( carefully..lol)
...Anyone done
this before ...was it o.k. ?


Just done the very same thing myself, I used a 32mm Starret hole saw with a
central pilot drill. I marked the hole centres on a piece of masking tape
stuck to the bath (for clarity of markings that's all). I then drilled the
holes, firstly with a 5mm drill bit and then did the final holes with the
Starret saw and pilot drill. As it was a VERY expensive bath (in
proportion) I was a bit 'scared' at first but it all went well and the bath
is now installed.
