DIY Drillium?

I always liked the look of classic drillium brake levers, but having the brake cable exit the top of the lever is not a classic feature I miss. I really want some drillium levers with aero routing, but as far as I know, no one makes/made such a thing.

I was thinking of buying a set of new Tectro Campy knock-offs, and doing the ventilation job on them myself. I have access to a proper machine shop drill press and lathe. I'm actually considering riding these things. What do you all think? Suicidal? I'd especially like to hear from engineers.
