My recommendation on these blocks has always been double drilling, 1/4" followed by 6.8mm (or 17/64"). With the 2/O x 2 3/8" Denro's I use, the torque tends to be in the 175lb range. The unique thing about these blocks is that you don't give up control even at relatively high torque ranges, and I'd rather have a block settle in a little tight than loose. Ron N
