Pics eh no.

Description:- Stanley knife about half an hour of scribing round the inner surface until the blade breaks through all round, job done.

Cheers

PD

A dremel to break through,get the rough shape, and then plastic files to finish off, beware tho, the plastic files munch through the bumpers

I'd probably attack it with my new die grinder but one of the little rotary saws you get with the Dremel-a-likes would be good for it (used with caution). Otherwise, make a hole with something, open it out with coarse files.

Thanks so far

Anyone experienced problems with water-intake when there's stormy/****ty weather with the airintake so "low & open" ?
