To mount the speedo from the rear I use a Starrett 4 3/8" / 111mm hole saw.

Pricey for something most people will use once! I'll go in with you if you like. Don't know how we'll decide who gets to keep it though!

Thanks David got the cutter yesterday.

Are those coffee machines any good?

I had to be a bit inventive with the packaging, the first box I put it in was only slightly bigger but would've cost more than double to send.

Yes mate, good coffee that.

Finished with the hole cutter David. Shall I send it straight back or is it going elsewhere on loan?!

You can send it on to roo1 if he still wants it.

It does a good job but is a bit scary when it's spinning round isn't it, big, fast and all jagged!!!!

Did a cracking job. Paint, gelcoat, metalflake, resin and grp dust everywhere!

Thanks for that mate really appreciate it.

roo1 pm me your address and I will send it over.
