[How-To] Drill holes & install gyro tabs
I wanted my odyssey gyro back on my s3 so that's what i did:
1) bought a pair of flybikes removable gyro tabs

2) made a sign on the frame with a marker

i controlled the distances first and signing the center of the tubes was ok for me
this way:

3) drilled holes with a 2.5mm drill (with the same distance of the holes on gyro tabs obviously)

4) tapped the holes with a 3Mx0.5 thread

5) screwed in the tabs

6) and voilą!


sorry for my horrible english and the low pictures quality but i'm italian and the only thing i had with me was a crap camera phone. hope that helps anyways!Last edited by nutsgeezer; 04-03-2007 at 05:49 PM.

Good how-to, this will probably be helpful for many people.

If you center punch the holes it will keep the drill bit from wandering, and make drilling the holes a bunch easier. You should use a punch, but a phillips screwdriver will work.

i think it either came with a straight cable or possibly a gryo plate instead of tabs?
