    Exhaust relief bridgeport housing

    Hi, i'm assembling a bridgeport mid. I noticed that this housing has no exhaust relieve. My smoothback has a triangular opening were you can see the yellow piece of sandpaper. Exhaust relieves above the anti cavitation plate were anode sits on the sportmaster.Click image for larger version.

    Would it hurt (strengtwise) to open it up or just drill a hole with holesaw?

    Thanks
