    So I take it your frame didnt have a metal head badge in the first place. How come your are adding one now?
    Ive never done it but i reacon the best way is to;
    First mark out where you need the holes.
    Use a punch to make a small dent in the surface of the metal.
    Use this as a guide to stop the drill bit slipping.
    Use a small drill bit and take your time.

    use masking tape to stop burs,paint cracking and the drill slipping

  • Seconded masking tape, also allows easier marking out using any old pen.
