Default Moki/ ST radial mount

I'm installing a Supertigre and was considering using the radial mount. That mount makes it kind of awkward to run a straight shot from the throttle servo to the carb arm. What do most people do with this kind of mount? Do you drill it out, go around it.... what.....?
Thanks[8D]

Drill out out or better still, if you have a friend with some milling equipment, mill the mount out in a similar vain to a lightened spinner backplate.
I've seen some real beauties... one of then even done manually using a series of holes and a file.
Cracking job.

Thanks for the reply Bla Bla. I'm hoping someone will post a photo or two if they've done it!

Well BlaBla I did it and it turned out pretty well. The aluminum is soft enough to drill easily and I rounded off the sharp corners with my dremel. Thanks
