I think Overdriven is saying to drill a new 3mm hole in the Baja hex - not your axle.

The way that I drilled the hole in my adapter was pretty straightforward - I used the flats of the hex and clamped it to my drill-press table - no need for a jig and it was easy to get the pin hole straight through the adapter at a right angle to where the axle would go through.

My wife has the camera - so no pics for now.

Edit: I'm not sure that you need that much material behind the pin - the pin is there to hold the hex in place, but the axle itself provides the mechanical support for the hex - so an impact is absorbed mainly by the axle, not the pin (in my thinking).
