    no way are you going to drill them . there file hard no drill will go thru them but you will bust the fork part off the push rod rides in . the hole is not round but square so a drill will not work . so you can not open them up so buy some 3/8 plates . less you have more tools then a hand drill made to cut hard steel and the setup time it would take.it is way over the price of the ones made to work for 3/8 push rods
