I was trying to be discreet, I don't need to disparage, I just don't want to end up fighting a vibration problem and having to go through the routine of: Is it the tire? Is it the wheel? Is it the axle? Is it the drive shaft?

Actually I feel a little better after deciding that it's well within my capabilities to drill it myself, because I thought it would have to be done before final assembly. I didn't want to pull the axles back out for drilling when it would be so easy now.

I think I can drill it after assembly, because installed is probably the best method I have to hold it in place, and it doesn't have to be machinist perfect, even hand drilled would be an improvement. I can drive it, then drill it in place if it's a problem, the ole trial and error method.

Fixit, you're an expert, what's your opinion, will this cause perceptible vibration?
