Has anyone drilled and or tapped their SKS railed dust cover?

Found this idea on another SKS forum, and was considering it for my Chinese Marstar "Frankensks", and the scope mount that comes with it. The end goal is a mount that will hold zero for more than a minute, with equipment I have on hand. After significant dremelling, I almost have a flush fit with this great piece of equipment... :rolleyes:

"1. Remove the dust cover pin, bolt, carrier and spring.
2. Replace the dust cover.
3. Do not drill the hole. Tap a 1/4-20 (or finer) hole all the way out the other side from right to left. THE DUST COVER MUST BE ON WHEN YOU DO THIS. Or the threads won't line up properly.
4. Screw in the 1/4-20 heat treated, button head. Cut it off close to flush. Take it off, trim it, blue the end.
5. Put it all back together and go sight her in."

I was wondering if anyone has any opinions/experience with this option before I go diving in?
