Does anyone have a template (or ideas) for the cutting of the rear panels when fitting the strut (as in the pic below) + a nice neat way to 'Finish' it off?

 

TIA guys :D :bow:

Hey Dave,

 

What I did to finish off the "chopping" work was to take some vacume hose, made an incision all along one side of it and then slid it over the plastic edge ... not sure if this is a clear enough description or not. I haven't got any pics of it to hand but will try and get some when I get home (camera and light willing ...)

 

The Stillen templates are indeed good but please make sure you get the template for a 2+2 and not the SWB version as the holes will be in the wrong place!

4mm vac hose does the trick as well :)

Bugger, that's what I meant ... vac hose, not electrical wire. Sorry - I was in the process of wiring up some equipment just before I posted that response. I've edited it now ...

 

Cheers!
