I used a small hand drill bit (smaller than the finished hole), and drill a little off center. I then used an X-acto knife to open the hole up to the correct size, and cut a flat edge to the oppisite side where I drilled off center. I then used the little metal D pin/axle from the stock front assembly to press in the hole and open it to the perfect shape.

No. not yet. I haven't really been anywhere to look yet, I've been too busy dodging rackets and tennis balls with my Skyline at the courts.
Maybe I should paint my car tennis ball green and mess with the players.

maybe if you had a heat torche or something likethat you could make a piece of metal shaped like the hole heat it up realy hot and melt through the plastic i dont know if this would work beacuase i dont have one yet i think the wheels are plastic so sorry if they are aluminum or something just thought it might be worth it

I have to admit, it sounds like a pretty tedious process, that's for sure. The heat idea might be a sound one, but I've yet to try it. Perhaps heating up a spare axle with a soldering iron?
