I measured 3/4"(IIRC) to the right and drilled with a pilot and then went to the larger bit. Just take your time and try to drill as straight as possible.

I've seen it done a couple of times, also seen some weld on a small piece of metal to reinforce it. Probably over kill, but some of us like that kinda stuff.
