pinning the ati damper

easy stuff but it takes TIME to do it RIGHT.
i pre drilled the dampner on a drill press and used those holes as a guide for the drilling on the crank. they were perfect when it was done.
when i took off the original dampner which was drilled and pinned wit hthe roe kit, the holes were very crooked and the pins were barely in the crank. it woulda spun off.

If you want, we can EDM keyways into your ATI damper so you can use dual 1/4" keyways. [your crank must be keyed as well of course]

Angle drill???
That would require a special fixture, surely something that you (or I for that matter) don't have laying around. It could certainly be made, but by far the easiest way is to just remove the crankshaft.
Are you 100% sure that it is a TRUE square key? I have my doubts, since I am dealing with another car right now which went through DLM, and it indeed still uses ROUND pins/keys, which we all know can be done in the car.
Good on Doug for making the fixturing, I knew it could be done.
