I used a 1/2in counterbore, you could use a reamer, but it would not match up as well to the angle of the screw countersink. I think a metric counterbore would be better, but I just used what I had. You could even get a large drill bit, put it into a drill press, limit the stroke, then use the drill bit tip as a counterbore, but that would be a little risky.
Cool, if you have any questions, shoot me a PM. By the way I forgot to mention it, the turnbuckles I used to brace the chassis are form the front end of a bandit. They really lock up the chassis and make it very solid
