Do yourself a favor a wait until you have the seals in hand before you drill. How much time are you really saving by predrilling the holes?

sorry i forgot to mention that have them already. i can measure the size of the uniseal OD but i think you have to have a specific size hole for the compression to make the fitting seal properly.

12.7mm Or 0.500" is the whole size you need. You can go plus 2mm from memory.

Hope that helps.
