If countersinking obviously you do it on the steel droput, I think something like this will do the job

but why? wont be visible, so not for aesthetics, greater risk of throwing this all out of alignment, and doesent add strength

Dry in reply to @young_gun

possibly clearance issues between dropout and hub?

FredyCro in reply to @young_gun

I am not an engineer, so have just a laic explanation, but could it not add some sturdiness, help splitting the clamping force on a bigger area? Maybe just a countersink with a washer? As said before it would be on the steel dropout on the inside and on the other side a recessed nut with a washer? Anyway, worth exploring all the options before starting drilling, a more scientific approach would surely be in order :)

I think @mdcc_tester will have all the answers!
