Gattlin,
Can you post a picture of this just so we can be sure of what you are asking?
With just the GPS Receiver by itself: you are talking about the white plastic part that is immediately below the gasket, right?

You guys do realize that you can enlarge the hole yourself in the current design don’t you?  Just flip one of the GPS Receivers over and you will see that you can enlarge the hole with out cutting into the interior of the GPS Receiver itself.

I dont know if I would enlarge the hole.
I think adding a second hole would not put as much strain on the hole or ring.

Making a hole is simple using a round file. that way you wont slip and drill into something you shouldn't...
