I normally just use a regular bit and drill straight through the weld, but if you want to not have to fill in a thru hole with weld (whatever you're using it for), you can probably get one from a body shop local to you. I don't believe harbor freight carries them?


EDIT: I know what you're doing - you're taking out/relocating the old body-side engine/transmission mounts, right? A good sharp chisel will get those out, if you don't plan on re-using them. If you do, you can drill right through those welds with no problems with a 1/4" bit (I use a step drill so I don't widen the hole too much).
