I'm drilled out 95% of the case/engine mounting bolt so I can use 999/12mm bolts. There is 1" left that I can't reach with the bit that I'm using.

I know others have done this ....is there a longer but to use?

Long series drills are readily available from engineering supplies. Concrete drill are for concrete

GOT IT.

My Grandad would make longer drills by the following method...

Get a short (6"? 4"?) length of 12mm bar, the same diameter as the drill you wish to make longer.... grind down the end of the bar to a slight taper, also the end of the drill?

The drill and the bar need to be EXACTLY in line with each other for the next bit - we did it by placing both in a Vee block or similar?

Mig, tig, arc whatever - get a few spot welds in either side to hold it all together, then fill in the taper with weld, working your way round...

You will now have a longer drill!

Set a slow drill speed and drill out that last 1", job done.
