Roger,

Well, I did say I prefer to buy and "bolt on" nowadays didn't I. Couldn't have found a better supplier. I'll call Bolton Stainless tomorrow.

Thanks,

T

I just cut about a 2" hole in the TC255 cabin top for Radar cables with a bi-metal saw. Very clean. In order to fill with epoxy, I just drilled until the pilot drill came through the top but not the bigger hole saw part. Then cleaned the balsa out with an allen wrench chucked in a slow speed drill and, after taping the pilot hole (1/4") inside the cabin, filled with thickened West System Epoxy. It dried overnight just fine. I then drilled the size hole I wanted (about 1 1/2") up from the bottom using the pilot hole as a guide. Worked great...

I need to do a similar thing...will be my first time drilling in hull/roof.

This post gave me some good ideas. But, why fill with epoxy before cutting the larger hole?

Also, about how far in did you cut with the Allen wrench (e.g., the long side inserted into the chuck, or the short side inserted)?

Thanks!
