thank you. Now, I know how to do and i décide to buy a shubb and to install it
If possible, clamp the slide guide against the banjo and make sure the capo works well down the fretboard - then mark the holes. I found I had to angle mine a bit - more parallel to the string than the neck, because the strings get higher as they go down the banjo neck and you want to make sure the strings will not buzz against the capo arm when it is raised. (The “arm” has plenty of range to clamp down, but only raises up so far.)

Thank you for this Sarah. I’m so happy to see this here on ifixit.
I have this capo in a drawer and now I will likely install it thanks to you.
Gratefully,

P.S. The drill bit size would be useful to know.
