determining bat pin locations ? redux

What was I thinking? What I "meant" to say was that after the bat with
the holes drilled through it is centered and clamped to the wheel head the
next step is to mark the holes with a "sharpee." Then remove the bat, center
punch the marked holes, and drill through the wheel head with a bit that is
the size of the SHAFT of the bat pins.
Sorry about the confusion
