Step 1. All right, I screwed up here, and it was soooo stupid. First cut the AA6-125X3/4X3/4 to length. No big deal. Then make the mark at 20 11/16" from one end. Also make a mark 7 7/16" from that same end. At this mark measure in 15/32". Take your spring loaded punch and make a hole. Then, take it to the DRILL PRESS, do not try this free hand, and drill a #40 or such, and step it up to a 1/4" hole.
If you want to be really stupid, do it free hand and watch the drill wander and then go order another AA6-125X3/4X3/4, which you'll get, but it'll be too short, so you have to have them send another. Etc. The picture was taken of the replacement. It was completed and reported here.
