To drill or not to drill

I am doing a cc replica and so if accurate have to drill my front MX for potts conversion.
It seems a shame to drill something that has lasted intact since the early eighties.
But if it makes it aunthentic than i feel I should.
What dya think, drill it or leave it?

Grinding it would be a little easier, I'd imagine that drill would be slipping all over the place . It's only a brake caliper, do it, they're always for sale in abundance on here

Its easy to do but i would make sure you tape up the caliper just incase you slip and dont get it to hot. Grind a bit then rest for 10 secs and so on.
Looks the dogs when done
