Ok, more effort put in today......
I stripped the mill into its many parts to facilitate the install of the brakcets..Some drilling and tapping needed here and I wasnt looking forward to it...Having no other means of drilling the holes I had to figure out a way of doing this..

Easy answer...make a drilling guide..

I had a spare piece of 16mm thick plate, so I drilled a hole through it (3.3mm ) to guide the twist drill..Duly clamped to the mill table, I succeeded in drilling and tapping...

So first the right side...
