It is theoretically possible to drill holes, but you will be tapping holes in 16 or 18 gauge metal and will not have much thread area (less than one turn) You could drill the holes oversize and put nuts on the inside. In order to do this, you would need to remove the horn contact ring fron the end of the column tube, and use a long 7/16 open end wrench with a little piece of masking tape to hold the nut while you start the bolt. Unfortunately, if you were to ever have to remove the shifter would lose the nuts, unless you repeated the process with a telescoping magnet.
Let me know what you decide. PM or email
