I would think that you would want to drill all the way through and use a fender washer (or fabricate a larger washer) to try to spread out the force as much as possible.

I like the rack, it looks real clean...
But I agree on drilling all the way through and using some kind of large washer or maybe a piece of stainless flat bar running from front to back, so it will distribute the weight better...
