hole cut in the wing.what would you use?

bought one of them southdown wing mounts.just need to cut fairly big hole in wing.bit scared of making a hash of it.did one on a suzuki with a jigsaw.didnt mind rippin into that because ater all was only a old nacka.

a hole saw?

a sharp knife and fork...

My bitch exs' tongue?

ha ha ha try one of the hole saws then

An air powered grinder. That's what I used on mine and triple check the placement of the paper jig.

i used a dremmel for mine and yes triple check the paper jig is in the right place first,i think theres some pics in my album for it

Hole saw gets my vote too. I recently used one to drill a 165mm hole in the boot floor on my landy.

hole saw and go steady

if your going the holesaw route a verry good tip when drilling alloy with these fukkers is to cover the saw teeth on the holecutter with plenny of lard or vaselene as it reduces snatching and gives a cleaner cut specialy with sheet matereals

learned from a hgv trailer roof fitter drilling vent holes in sheet aluminium

thats a pizza dish sixed hole saw there!

Where'd you get that? could do with one.

why did you need such a big hole in your boot?

dunno but my guess is hes installing a porta potty in the back so he can empty his back actor after all them chippies

You needed to drill through the boot floor? aint that a bit overkill to go through the boot floor of a landy?

The answer was that where ratty lives there is no real off road parking- it was offered that I would help drop tank. But ratty decided with wading the likely hood of it coming out easy was slim.
So access hole cut ratty's choice

Could use the guy from qinetiq, just saw him on a crappy prog drilling a rivet hole with a windy and when it broke through he made a big enough hole to climb through and some poor sod is probably flying about in that wokka today

I used a 75mm air cut off saw, just make sure you have it marked well and triple check, erase any 'wrong' lines if you remark. Cut the hole slightly smaller if unsure, you can always remove more but you cant add any back, finally take your time!

Oh yeah, do it with the wing on the car, it makes it easier to cut and also to check if its all fitting properly

tin snips is the easy way..

iv got to do mine soon for a snorkel, was planning on air grinder and dremel combination, as above triple check EVERYTHING, and cut smaller
