Just don't drill the hole through the pressurized part! Could be
'exciting', as in a ride with lights and sirens blaring. A pipe clamp
might be a good thing.

Such drama! Just use a small drill (1/16" or so), with work in vise
on a drillpress, wearing a face shield. It'll go PSSSsssss and then
the pressure will be gone and you can then drill to size.


Why bother with that? Just remove the device and insert a dummy rod the
appropriate length. If you insert a pin into the side of the thin wall
cylinder, then all your weight is going to be supported by only a thin
section of the cylinder. That seems likely to fail.
