Has anyone tried to drill the handle and lid on an OTS or OTG to convert it to the thermo style used on the old Master-Touch or Performer lids?

I haven't. The MT handle is also taller than the regular one to accommodate the shield.

I have a red s/s performer w/o a handle there are 3 holes in the top, one for the thermo.  I am going back and forth about trying to modify a firepit handle to accommodate the thermo OR go with the new style thermo on a bezel independent of the handle.

I think I prefer keeping it old style :P

I drilled through the garage door handle I added to my performer which was missing a handle.   it is shorter than a reg performer handle.

If the holes are already drilled out on the lid making the handle bracket should be easy with regular hand tools and a drill. Go for the old style!
