it is a simple thing to put the holes in during the manufacturing process... much harder to do it after the fact...

thanks to our design team... we put them in early... along with a hole for a chain tensioner... (but we didn't need it..)

Our drive is really a hybrid between crab and swerve... similar to what Al was talking about...
What do you mean by alignment rods?
