SRB Questions

I finally got round to picking up an old rough rider to start a project , although its got a lot of very early parts its in a "used" condition and never going to be a shelf queen , this is ideal as what I'm planning is kind of a scale look runner .
After stripping and cleaning I started to order a few replacement parts and made my first mistake , the front suspension ball plates have changed on the RE RE to use larger balls and here's my first question .
I'm planning on front coil over dampers , this puts stress on the lower ball plate in the wrong direction , is this a problem ? I'm thinking that if I drill out the original bottom arms to accept the modern larger ball ball plate then it might stand up better ?
The bottom arms are not pristine so I don't feel I'm destroying a decent part but I really do prefer the slimmer old style arms .
Thoughts ?
