I’m fitting an Am Pro neck to a normal 4 bolt Telecaster body - I only realised having got to this stage that the Am Pro doesn’t have the traditional corner positioning for the 4 neck bolts, as their bodies have a cutaway at the base.

What’s the best approach to creating a hold for the 4th bolt here? Should I drill a small pilot hole and then screw in, or just screw directly?

1993 NA, I’m in the UK so it’s right hand drive.

Came back to this small puddle after a couple of days away - it’s been 30+ degrees for the whole weekend (90-ish in Fahrenheit. The car doesn’t have A/C.

Haven’t had a chance to fire the car up or investigate more deeply but the radiator was full when I opened the cap so I _assume_ it’s not coolant.

Any pointers?
