Mounting Inverse Levers

Hi all,

I've got a pair of CLB inverse brake levers I would like to mount to my Belleri city bars, but, as you probably guessed, the inner diameter of the bar is too small for the brakes to fit. The only way I can think of making this work would be to try and drill out the inside of the bars (and the thought of messing up these bars kind of makes want to vomit...the cable route drilling is enough!).

I doubt there are any other tricks, but if there are, I'd love to hear. Has anyone else had luck drilling out the inner diameter of their bars to allow for inverse levers? Seems kinda strange really. These Belleri bars and shifters seem to be from about the same era, from the same country, and were def made for one another....but they still dont work together :?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
