Lou beat me to it lol. I was going to recommend the same thing. Any machine shop would likely be more than happy to do that for you, heck they might even do it for free.

The only problem RKD is that I have no idea where to exactly put the holes and the size thread to use.I won't have my BobaMaker gauntlets to Augest or even later most likey.Daz did tell me that the holes are 25mm apart and sorta the screw size m6 (6mm diameter)

You can put the holes wherever you want, really. I don't have pre-drilled holes in my gaunts for the rockets and it works fine. Just make sure you get them done with matching screws. Wherever you put the screws is fine, it all gets covered up by the rocket when it's installed anyway. Totally up to you though on how you want to approach it.
Here's a link to how I did mine, scroll towards the bottom of the first post -

So Will the holes on the Gauntlet won't matter? That's why I'm concerned where to drill them on the Rocket.BM said his predrilled holes are 25mm apart from one thread to the other that's about an inch.

Why don't you wait until you have the gauntlets? You really have no reason to do anything to the rocket right now. Wait and mark the spots when the cone and the fit will be spot on. When that time comes I'll drill and tap them for you and send screws back with it.

This is my luck Woodman I sold the Rocket to Cruzer last night he needed one for his son.Im glad was actually able to help him out.Thank u Woodman I will def contact u if I run into this issue when I buy my next Rocket.The reason why I dident want to wait is because I wanted to send Daz the Rocket to mount and paint for my order,Daz couldent drill the holes out that's why I was trying to get it done before hand.
