Very good idea! When figuring out the perfect place to put them, keep in mind the depth of threads of the zerk. What I mean is that if is a smaller zerk, I'm going to guess that it will actually go into your idler arm or whatever about an 1/8". So, the metal area has to be at least that thick so that all of the zerk can be seated, and has to be thick enough that zerk doesn't go so deep that will prevent movement. Is not a hard job. Figure out diameter of hole needed (enough left to tap), and tap. Just make sure all rough metal and burrs are gone. You can do it. If I can do it, anyone can, and I can. And by the way, great idea to add zerks. Good luck.
