What size is this hole, ASAP please.
Hi all,
I need to find out the original size of these holes that the fresh air heater tubes pass through. I need to cut my own and want to check what size
hole saw I need to use/buy.
I need to cut them by morning so I can drop my tinware off to get powder coated.
Thanks, Kevin

That was quick, thank you. Need to go buy a 60mm hole saw now, one of the sizes I don't have.
Cheers, Kev.

Hey Kev, just duck down to the 'holesale shop and buy a couple of 60mm holes.
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

You guys can laugh at my expense and expense it was. Worked out $22 a hole to drill 
Anyway, it's done now and can drop them off at the powder coaters 
I was really surprised at the mods required to the tinware to make them fit. Then again my engine is stroked and running 48 webbers.
Shit, the way I am going I might even have the engine in soon.
Kev

Hi Kev,
those holes need to be larger to put a bush or rubber grommet around the flimsy hoses...
the rubber VW grommets just sit on top of the tinware...??
the Hoses are a fairly tight fit...
maybe 68mm....
Sorry too late....
I have mine out at the moment....
I should maybe make them larger so I can push the rubber grommets into the holes....
cheers Kev
