This is a pretty straight forward DIY project so I will not go into detailed explanation. However I will say that if you do try this project it is a good idea to put masking tape or painters tape over the area you are drilling to protect the surrounding plastic and drill a pilot hole first so there is less chance of drill bit drift with the larger size. I like this little modification and have seen no others like this.
