I recently had the unforunate experience of having the forward eyestrap on my boom and the bullet block attached to the same get pulled out of my boom due to heavy wind.
I am going to through bolt the eyestrap to avoid this happening again and wondered if I can simply drill out the top of the boom to have the bolts go straight through the entire boom with the nuts being installed on the bottom eyestrap side.
I know the official "laser throughbolt kit" has you remove the gooseneck plug and then install the bolts from inside the boom....but drilling through the top of the boom seemed an easier venture to me. Iis there a reason to not simply drill through the boom? Thanks in advance for any insight.
