So I am preparing to drill the new holes in my Thing for the front emblem, because the shop did not do it, and I realized I have no real idea what metric size to drill. I could guess but if anyone knows the size of these 3 holes I would be most grateful. Cool
Thanks

a tip -- I have a little plastic sheet with holes all puched in that show the sizes. You stick whatever in the hole and pick the appropriate drill bit by sticking in the same hole. Cheap and I use it all the time...
