Hi Pete & welcome, we're down the pied bull tomorrow evening for the fortnightly meet (details at the top of the selkent section).
Generally it's not considered a good idea to drill the top yoke without some form of additional support as you're creating a point of weakness there, a number of ways of doing it though, the easiest of which is to find (if you can) a naked top yoke, or bond a plate under the original and clamp through to that. Hope that helps, and indeed we see you down the pied bull at some point. Cheers Mark.
