Apparently the brake adjusters are engineered to use that hole for sensing and adjusting. I have not be able to locate the adjusters with any suppliers, mine were missing. I am investigating Studebaker suppliers now. I was wondering if anybody has ever stumbled across a supplier of these type adjusters.
Thanks,
