Does any one on the list have the correct
countersink bit and 14mm drill bit they would be willing to lend to do this?
It'd be a big help.
Also any words of advice on doing this would be appreciated as well. >>

Dennis,

I have but a few words of advice: CNC machine them.

I've seen too many attempts at doing this manual with and w/o a drill press.
I've also lots of wheels ruined.
