[Rhodes22-list] Sinking at the dock!

[Arthur H. Czerwonky]

Saroj,

I installed larger fixtures and without any particular problem.  The holes are easily enlarged with the small sanding wheel on a Dremel tool.  You need to be careful because at the high speed it can easily get carried away and enlarge the hole too much, so be sure to brace your hand well.
