I was hoping to have the new fuel rail finished by now, but I had a slight
delay.  I worked on it Sunday, and cut the extruded fuel rail to length, and
using the old one for a pattern, I marked and drilled all of the pilot
holes.

After drilling increasingly larger holes, I finally got the injector holes
to the correct diameter.

I removed the reamer from the its holder, and discovered that I had a
problem.  The reamer that I ordered is not the correct size.  I went back
and checked my order , and I apparently did order the wrong one.  Apparently
it was listed with the shank size being the one I wanted, and not the reamer
itself.  If I had taken the time to calculate out the fractional dimension,
33/64", I would have realized that it was .5156 inches, and not the .4435
inches that I need.

I located the correct one and ordered it, so it will hopefully be here by
Friday.
