At 11 inches that is 16 diameters deep. This is above me. Cool though. You can purchase fuel rail stock that has been extruded out of aluminum so all you have to do is some simple machining. ---

At 11 inches that is 16 diameters deep. This is above me. Cool though. A gun drill will get you the ridiculous depths. we have a part at the shop I work at that has an 11mm hole that is 767mm deep…that’s 70 times the diameter. now that is some deeeeep penetration 😉 ---
