I made my own nut drilling jig from a piece of 1" x 3/8" flat stock.   Just mark the angles and where you want to drill and drill a hole.  The take a hacksaw and cut the angles.  Bingo you have a jig.  I clamp the nut in the jig with a small vice I have in the drill press and drill.

It is best to leave the bolts unwired during the trip to the salt and to retorque them, including the triple tree pinch bolts, and wire them, before going through tech.  Sometimes they need to be retightened after a long trip.
