78zcar_blue Posted April 15, 2008 Share #4 Posted April 15, 2008 Sorry, in this situation you will probably have to make a template out of card board and cut the pieces out of sheet metal, that's what I had to do in the area of the battery compartment. I found the sheet metal (galvanized) and the proper thickness at Lowes of all places.Hope this help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
