When making up the sierra the drill needed is 27/64 I found this to be a bit loose had to use too much epoxy so I tried a 10.6mm works great with ca

Particularly with Sierra's it always pays to measure tubes first.
In fact make a habit of it with every kit.
An age old debate is the size of Sierra tubes and one I have argued many times so I won't go there now.

i have got in a habit to measure every kit now

i sometimes drill a bit of firewood to check fit as well
not foolproof as some woods drill differently...shrink a bit from heat

It is a good call from the guys saying to measure the tubes .. The Sierra is certainly one to follow this rule .. :thumbs:
