The raccoons pooped on my car. Then they blocked an alleyway and cars were stopped. Ok, bot.

yep, having a hard time getting excited for this one too, since it'll undoubtedly be placed in market to compete with the GT-R.

I haven't followed it at all, honestly. Didn't even know there was one on the way

Looks like it's trying to be a Veyron.

Need some fabrication halp (looking at you, @Mustard Dispenser and @Mr. Asa ). I have to cut a hole in a bulkhead consistent with the "small connector" pattern in the above JPG.

Any pointers on how to do that without just dremeling the whole thing?

find your size/shape
Dunno if theres one exactly for your application, tho
There may be ones from other sources that would be closer to size

yowza, $300 each. Guess I'll stick with the dremel, lol.

I have withheld several smart aleccy responses.

Got the solenoid in.

Doesn’t even come with the terminal bolts. Gotta reuse the old ones.

Starter tester thingy comes in today.

Then it rains for three days.

Make a piece the shape of your cutout, less the diameter of the Dremel bit, first? Use as a jig to trace around with the dremel for clean lines?

Could run a couple screws through it into the piece you're going to remove to hold it.

May as well just drill some pocket holes.

You can probably find one cheaper someplace other than mcmaster, that was just an example

Call up a small machine shop, ask if they've got a suitable D-punch to make the hole, if they do then offer to bring in a pizza in exchange for getting the hole made. Chances are they'll go for it.

Or just use a stepped drill, and a bit of hot melt glue to hold the connector and keep it from spinning.

 

[wetwillie]

Drill small holes as close as you can to the inside corners of the D - first. Then drill the largest hole you can without breaking into the D. The Mickey is the three holes. Finish with Dremel and files as needed.

I'll give my friends a call over at the machine shop and see if they've got anything.

I'm reluctant to do the other, as it's a bulkhead that seals against gasoline, so I want to do it as right as possible.

what material is the bulkhead? If you only need one connector hole, a die grinder or dremel with an appropriate point bit (not wheel) is the right tool.
