Fuse Box, Steering Column and Heater Pipes

Got a few more holes cut today. Started with the hole for the fuse box and followed the same methodology as for the headlights. The outline had already been pre-marked by GD so I drew a new line 3mm inside and used this as a guide for a 4mm drill. As this hole was square, I used a file to neaten it up and enlarge the hole accodingly.







I also cut out the hole for the steering column with a 64mm holesaw.

And the holes for the heater pipes into the engine bay. The holes were marked up in the cavity inside the wing where it was a bit tight to weild a drill. You can just see them on the left hand side of this picture.


I used a small battery driver to drill a small hole through the centre of the marked holes from the cavity into the engine bay and then from the engine bay, enlarged the holes and used a 25mm holesaw to drill back the other way.
