[DeTomaso] Clutch Master Access Hole - Recommendations?

[jgkrenton at comcast.net]

Round with a nice rubber plug is best, but if you have to have a square one, Greenlee makes a large (and expensive) selection of square hole punches... (and round hole punches too.) 

For example:

Good luck.

If you must do a hole, use a hole saw and a rubber hole plug. I'd get the 
plug first for sizing because you only get one chance doing a round hole.
