Figure out what your offset is and drill from each side then hand drill 
between the holes to get the angles like a reamer. Make a easy drill guide, 
hole with pin or rivet and where you want the next hole. If you have a lot 
of holes to drill, make several of the guides at the beginning of the job 
not from each other after they are worn.
