I thought it was worth the trouble to make sure the paint was even.
Thanks for the tip and the other write up. I drilled the heads on just the main pins (the ones with the main spring). That gave the handle enough play to where I didn't have to completely remove the handle which the paint shop said they can work around. I then drilled and tapped the pin just like you did. It looks like it's going to work great, handles are in the paint shop now. Once again, great write up.
