Title: Floorboard Hole Size (Diameter) Help Please
Post by: Steve on January 11, 2014, 08:53:15 PM

Tomorrow is the day that I am going to cut the floorboard holes in the new tub. I have the old tub to use as a template; however, the holes for the clutch and brakes are ellipsis rather than circles. I suspect that they should be circles, am I correct?
If so, does anyone know the distance from the bottom floor bend to the center of each circle? Thanks.

Steve

Elliptical is correct..!

I could not get a good picture with the pedals in place, but the holes themselves measure 1.25 by 1.52"...give or take a little!

Glad to help! My jeep is about 15 steps away, and it's too cold to drive it, so I may as well measure it :D

Where do you get an elliptical drill bit?
