What and how is it done. I have a friend that tried to drill them with a carbide plug weld bit with no success. Any thoughts? Who has done this and how did you do it?
Drilling plug welds on front D44?

Torch, plasma cutter, or a plug weld cutter on a mill. These are the only ways that I have heard that work. Good luck.

It is not the wire as much as it is the weld, and heating the material up. Your best bet is to use a plasma or torch as stated above, and then blow through it. If the guy has a mill using a plug cutter should work. But with out a mill it is useless. Let us know how it turns out. question # 2? is it front or rear? If the front why not grind the outer c's off? cut and press them back on.... Seems like that would be easier.
