0.368 is the equivalent of US drill size Letter U. The metric conversion is 9.35mm but you can more than likely get away with 9.3mm. I'm pretty sure that 0.05mm isn't going to make that much difference.

Glen, any engineering supplies company local to you will supply drills in 0.1mm increments, Google engineering supplies and Southport and see what comes up.
