Can I drill into a oil sandwich adapter plate?

Or do I have some reeeally silly ideas up here :lol:

The oil sandwich adapter, i left for gauges. :)

But I would probably just buy a new one with more ports because I would be worried about messing mine up. If you have the tools and you're confident, then go for it :woot:

I already have 2 holes in the ring, but one for the oil press sensor and one for the oil temp sensor, so it'll need a third hole.

Taking it off and modding it makes cleaning the new thread a lot safer/easier, no metal chips in the oil system :)
