just got my PR CAI and can't wait to install it, does anybody know how hard it is to cut that hole thats needed???

 

congrats

 

Steak knife.

Actually, you should be able to find a circular drill bit to do it.

 

that cracked me up, do you think a Dremel tool would do it??? Thanks

 

i think u need something more powerful than a Dremel

 

I would use a Dremel (or RTX if you have one) with a diamond cut off wheel (~$15 at your local hardware store). I've tried using one of those circle bits (can you call em bits? cuz the one had was 3" in diameter)...man they are hard to control and they take forever to cut through steel! Plus the cut is not very clean (could be, but for me, it wasn't). If you do use the circle cutter, then use a low RPM setting (I believe that's what's suggested for cutting metals) and a steady hand. The Dremel (Black and Decker RTX is highly recommended, higher torque than Dremel) is the easier route in my opinion only cuz it's easier to control the Dremel and easier to cut with a diamond cut off wheel (you could use reinforced cut off wheels too, much cheaper, but you will probably go through like 4-5 of them, but still cheaper than the diamond cut off)...might need the flexible extension to get some of those angles. I would also pick up a bit to take care of the burrs after you cut the hole.

This site has some good tips on using Dremel to cut circular holes in steel. Some people (like me) mod their computers just like we mod our cars

 

Check out the How To thread.

 

Congrats. I love those rims. They look exactly like Konig Tantrums.

 

Good luck with the drilling.. Try using a industrial drill.. It'll be like cutting paper...

And congrats!!!

 

Thanks guys for all the help, im buying a dremel tool found a good deal at Sam's Club for 90.00 with all the parts including a flexible extension thingy??? says it varies from 5,000 to 30,000 rpm. not using the dremel for install just wanted one BAD!!!
