This is one is for steel specialists:
My taildragger KR2 main landing gear legs are made of spring steel. They
hold to the gear brackets by 4 bolts each. The bolts are metric, 10mm
diameter.
I would like to change that for the nearest AN size. That would be an AN7,
which is 7/16", that is 11.1
Just my opinion...Use cobalt or titanium drill
bits, turn them real slow (as in the slow setting on a
drillpress), and keep them oiled throughout the
process.

Maybe a silly question, but wouldn't you be better off just using an AN-6
(3/8) fastener? The holes would already be oversized about .5mm (around
.020").
Then you wouldn't have to drill.
Just a thought.

Gosh, that's an even better idea. Those things don't need to fit all
that well, just clamp

No.. Not at all.
The clamp load generated by the bolts is what holds the joint together.
I mean, when you get it all bolted down to the proper torque, it's not

You can also make up a "ersatz" sleeve with some sheet shim stock. The best
would be steel @ 0.009" with no overlap, but three pieces of 0.003 with the
seams staggered @ 120 degrees should also work.

Yep, I thought of that, but don't you think that .5mm is too much gap?
