Assuming Germans weren't working in thousandths of inches back then, 9.9mm hole, which I'm gonna assume was a 10mm hole when it left the factory over 20 years ago, before getting filled with surface corrosion or similar crud. And a 10.95mm insert...
11mm insert isn't gonna fit nicely in a 10mm hole
gonna have to drill it

Finally got the car up on axle stands, got the drill out... and found a fractionally undersized 27/64" drill bit.
But still not enough clearance to drill it in situ
