My car has 2 stubs welded on the brake pedal lever from the factory. I also put as large of a Rear wheel cylinder I could find on the Fronts. (4 wheel drums)

Maybe not the correct term, but definitely hardened ..You could see it on the metal.
It creaked and groaned and smoked , but it went, on a good size drill press . Kinda like drilling a center bolt into mono leaf springs..Ahnold probably could have done it a little easier.
