Make cut in the diff. casing?

[voucht]

Hi,
When I installed my hand brake cable through CP13 last year, the hard sleeve was touching the diff. in a way I don't like (forcing it into a bend which does not look right). It also makes the tensioning ring of the hand brake cable very hard to turn.

I would like to make some cuts in the diff. casing to allow the cable to run straighter, and have a smoother bend.

I marked in black the spots where I would like to do the cuts.

What do you think. Do you see any problem it could cause to the diff. casing integrity?

Thanks!
