How would you know how deep to drill. What would you do about swarf? Not practical IMO.

the swarf would run down the drill thats no problem,and you would feel when you broke through the cup,just a thought must be worth a try

I have heard that Alfa 166 arms are the same.

I'm going to stick my neck out here: You may have heard they're the same, but I'm pretty sure if they were, we'd have known this by now. Not having a pop at all, but we have most of the alternate parts down pat, and when they started cracking, there was a lot of focus.....

They are different. The rear drop links are interchangeable with the GTV fronts but I think that’s the extent of Alfa parts sharing in the suspension.
