i know i need to cut it bud , just dont wanna start hacking it about LOL

 

PICS ARE A GREAT HELP CHEERS MATEY :)

i would use a hole drill, you can buy large grommits from most electrical trade centres

 

not much use but its a start

i've got a carbing in my rear, i'll do a pic in a bit.

 

involved more cutting than andys

 

a 3 piece like andys just needs 2 round holes, a carbing like mine involves a oval slot and a cutall the way from the slot to the bottom of the pannel

thanks ian, i have a 3 piece one. want to do as little cutting as possible.

 

 

 

thanks guys you have given me some ideas how to approach this :) nice one

when i did mine, all i did was:

 

- bolt the two end parts onto the strut tops.

- Position the plastics roughly where they should be and lightly press down onto where the strut brace is. This will show some white marks on the plastics.

- Select a hole saw the size that you want.

- drilll out the holes and refit plastics.

 

To achieve a better finish, i cut some silicone hose in half and used it to run around the cut.

Exactly how i did mine! :sailor:

you could also buy a couple of plastic ports from a car audio place, the ones they use to 'port' a sub enclosure and just pop them in...
