Dash config on 2003 SS 210

[Smbailey]

Installed a perfect pass system on our 2003 SS 210 and it is working great. The only problem is that we need to keep the original tach and speedometer in order to keep the other gauges working because of the cable connections. The dash only has two 5”in openings, but space for a third that is covered by a sticker instead of actually cut out. Behind the dash there is a cut opening with room for a holster, it’s just the front layer that is not cut out.

How do we cut out a new opening for the speedometer?

You'd use a hole saw of the correct size. That size will be dependent on what's going in that spot.

Thanks for the reply. Do you think a standard bi-metal hole saw would work? We do not want to crack the plastic.

Sure. Just make sure it's nice and sharp. When they say "Measure twice, cut once" they aren't kidding. You'll only get once chance to do this.

I would actually run the hole saw backwards, so you don't dig the teeth in too suddenly, at least to start.
