On the hole/Dimple idea. We can share results.

How could you add a centered hole to the dimple. 2. thoughts on punching through to make the next step, a flanged hole?

Could add a short length of grade 8 bolt sticking out of the small washer, and sharpen the end of it...might have to try that

I'd drill the hole first, then add the dimple.
