Default Where to drill rear emergency brake plate for stud repl?

Anyone have a pic of exactly where? I have my rear pulled for pilot bearing repl and am repl studs while it is out. I would like to go ahead and drill the hole in case I need to replace later on. Pics anyone?

Just below the spot where the parking brake is fastened. It is very close to the PB mount so be careful when drilling. A couple of years ago the mechanic at the local dealership drilled a hole in the right rear backing plate of my Z to replace a broken lug. He asked me if I wanted the expensive/time consuming repair or the low cost quick repair.
