It's been done hundreds of times and documented at least as many. There are wires in the post, keep your drill bit short maybe even use a shaft collar. Make a cardboard cut out of it and put it up in place. I do not care for it there, as it blocks your view much as a GPS/Phone/Tarot reader mounted on the glass does. Check the FAQ's On Samba ,you'll find it well documented,
