How should I go about with installing a 3 bolt micro tilt into a warmoth Telecaster neck?

I like my 7.25 radius, it's just my personal preference and I'm planning on building a period accurate 1972 Thinline Telecaster with a warmoth neck.

Unfortunately, warmoth does not offer the option to have a 7.25 radius with the cutouts for the 3 bolt micro tilt system and the 7.25 radius is also only available as part of the Vintage neck construction.

How should I go about installing the 3 bolt micro tilt onto a Telecaster neck? Any advice? I have a decent amount of experience working on guitar necks.

I have decided that the best option is to go for a Musikraft Telecaster neck. While they don't offer 3 bolt micro tilt cutouts as part of their main selection, they do offer the option to have special circumstance orders which would allow me to have a neck with a 7.25 radius and the 3 bolt cutout.

Another issue I realised is that if I were to get the Warmoth Vintage Tele neck, It would be stupid for me to drill into the neck while the truss rod is directly underneath (3 Bolt teles had the truss rod on the headstock rather than the heel).
