Europa-List: Drilling the Control Column Bottom Fitting

Gidday,
I am wondering how I am going to get my control stick wiring past the pivot 
bolt that supports the Control Column Bottom Fitting? The wiring is 
bundled, and is larger than the voids either side of the pivot bolt. I am 
wondering if I can drill through the portion immediately below the tufnol 
insert that surrounds the base of the stick? I would drill it such that the 
wires would come out in an aft direction, and then through an access in the 
front vertical face of the thigh support. So, has anyone else done this and 
care to make any recommendations? All help greatfully received.
