I'm finally getting back to this project and am looking for advice. For a while I couldn't work out where to make the notch that folks had talked about. However when I saw the following photo, it all made sense:



On my c-record levers, I have the molding marks for the notches but the material needs to be removed:



Is there any reason why I shouldn't mod these levers myself to 'aero' route them? Or should I not desecrate such pristine (the hoods are grubby but the lever bodies are pretty much NOS) c-record levers?

Seems like it shouldn't be too much work to file them out. I just want to make sure that I'm not about to do something stupid.
