Thanks Bill, Since its basically flat sided in the middle I figure it wouldn't be hard to carefully mark and center-punch it so a drill wouldn't tend to walk. Then just poke the right size hole with a hand drill and run the tap I use to clean bottle and rack mount threads through it. Not trivial, but not too difficult either. My SImpleOne has a threaded bridge and I like that better than the metal sliding crimping thing that comes with the longboards.
