Are You sure you don't mean 1/2 inch square tube? Kinda hard to drill a 1/4 hole in 1/4 tubing. Not trying to be a smart a$$ because I bought some pegs just to do this mod and my square stock that attaches the pegs to the u clamps is at least 1/2 inch. Just wanna make sure I'm looking at this right. Thanks, Chris
