Hi I am looking for bright ideas on how to cut 18mm round holes into my front bumper.  I have bought a couple of recovery swivels that push through from behind and secure with a circlip, I got them from www.scorpionracing.co.uk and they are the business, only problem is how to drill/cut/burn these holes. Suggestions please. Allyboy |

Hi v8rick, if you keep the rod in one place you can burn a hole, usually this happens when you dont wanit to!! I think this is what he meant. At the end of the day I bought a hole saw and it was V easy.
Cheers
