not for the second time, just the second time I have used this subject.

stainless steel is a booger to cut, but I did it with four metal jigsaw blades and two drill bits.

I know the holes are a little rough but when the guages went in and the switches are on you can't even see it.

I guess I have it easy, I just need to cut thru fiberglass..though the fiberglass splinters really are horrible!!!

A tip to those are cutting thru fiberglass or steel with a hole saw, clamp a piece of wood behind your area..it'll keep the bit straight, won't let it wander..
you must have pride....in your ride....

all this stainless is covering fiberglass.


the guages that were in there I didn't like so I got different ones and they don't fit the same holes so I cut the stainless piece so I could use the guages that I want. the speedo was smaller the the original and the fuel guage was bigger plus if you notice there's no place for a key.
