1968 650 bonnie tank badges question

I'm restoring a 68 650 bonnie, and the previous owner brazed the hole fore the tank badges. Is it likely that i'll be able to drill out the braze and tap the hole for the tank badge screws with out doing damage to the tank?

You'll have to do it VERY carefully!

Agreed - this will be tricky and delicate surgery.
