The gear leg is indexed with a small hole so is real hard to mess up.

I've started down this path too..
It looks like the top of the LG mount is already 7.9mm and so is the hole in the gear leg. The only hole that needs to be enlarged is the very bottom hole of the LG mount.
One thing I found is that the powder coating closed up the hole in the LG mount. So I've passed a 7.9mm reamer through the hole to get it to the correct size. Then I also did the same thing to the LG leg, just to ensure it will allow the reamer to pass through it.
All I have to do is slide the gear leg into the socket and the reamer will drop through the LG mount (top hole), through the LG leg, and should bottom-out on the bottom hole. With a little luck the hole is already close enough to size that the reamer will punch on through it. Otherwise, I'm going to have to drill it to a closer undersized hole and then punch it through with a reamer.
I agree, it looks pretty hard to screw up. I don't know if you could.
