Newell Coach Lug Nut Cover Upgrade and Some Polishing! (Should Have Done This Sooner)

What happens here

The creator holds up a metal mounting bracket, explaining that its pre-drilled holes are not large enough to fit over the RV's large wheel studs. He indicates that three of these holes on each side of the bracket will need to be enlarged. He identifies a step drill bit (also called a 'uni-bit' or 'Christmas tree bit') as the tool for this task, noting its ability to progressively enlarge holes.

Goal: Determine the necessary modification for the mounting brackets
