Template shows 82mm hole. Hole saws sizes 76 or 86 mm. Should I use the 76 and file out or straight in with the 86..... My thinking is the 86 saves the filling and only 2 mm either side extra..

What size hale saws have you used????

Thanks

Mark

I filed out, but if i was to do it again i'd go bigger. I don't remember what hole size I used, just make sure the snorkel outer will cover a 86mm hole.

I scratched mine to pieces when getting mine through a filed hole, the bodywork flexes when filing, its a nightmare!

It's 81mm and I bought the right size off eBay. All went perfectly well.

I used a drill! Very quick and easy and just a little filing at the end before re-coating the metalwork in cold gal as my body is galvanised.

I think I cut mine at 86mm too as it was the only size I had that was bigger.
