That was I had in mind, sorry, I was at work and couldn't elaborate.Now I get it. They are talking about drilling the hole radially, not axial.
I dunno Larry. Instead of a pin, you have the purchase on the brass face doing all the work.

The V groove is imbedded in the brass. They are not going anywhere. There is no force on the pins anyway, they only guide the bellhousing on and the bolts hold it in place.
The bolts provide the clamping force, and the friction of the flange holds it in place. UP, to "X" torque. When that is overcome, the pins hold it.
How much is "X.?" Dunno.

There is no/very small rotational force tranferred (by the engine) to the transmission case. So there is very little torque on those bellhousing bolts or pins.
