My Son's chosen band was delivered today and I *carefully* drilled the holes for the pins.  I sacrificed two drill bits by snapping off a little more than an 1/8th inch of the ends and gluing them into thin plastic tubes.  This let me bend the tube slightly as I twisted so I could drill the hole as straight as possible while avoiding the lug thing on the other side... if that makes sense!  

Just down to the face piece, which is small and pretty simple.
