I'm getting ready to add another air conditioning vent beside the radio on my Vanagon and I wondered what tool would be best for cutting a square hole in the metal dashboard. Has anyone cut this metal and what tools did you use? I don't have the room for a saw because the heater and other things are in the way. Has anyone used a hand metal nibbler, like is used for modding computer cases, to cut this gauge metal? What other tools would be appropriate? |
