I forgot to add this warning. Trying to drill directly through the cast steel is hopeless. My best drill bits with Boelube couldn't penetrate. You need to use a die grinder to break through the surface which has been extremely hardened by repeated heat/cool cycles. It doesn't take much, then you will be able to drill much easier. I decided to grind out a level area to allow me to drill square, while clamped in a drill vice.
 
Ps. In the pic EGT1 it looks like allot of material was removed, but this is misleading. It didn't take much out to get it level and square.

A few more pics showing how I installed the T/C's for any other brave souls that might want to try it.
