Thanks Steve. After the guard was finally fitted, I measured the slot, divided that by two for the center, chucked up a sixteenth cobalt drill bit in my Foredom drill press and drilled through both sides in one pass. Put the guard on the blade, marked and drilled. Domed the pin, polished, and done!
