Question Drilling losmandy bars?

Hey all:

Picked up a losmandy dovetail for my 10" dob. Also got my hands on two 10" rings. However the threads in the relevant holes do not match.

The bar has two threaded holes for the rings. The rings have two threaded holes. Neither match. The rings are a M6 thread while the bar is a smaller, unknown thread.

Is it standard to take a drill to the bar and remove the threading?

This is the bar: http://www.skiesunlimited.net/index.php?ProductID=876, recomended by a highly thought of (and still highly thought of ) local dealer.

Thanks

Anthony
