[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 77242, member: 55"] Unless you have real big arms, a 4 inch hole saw will work great for making your access hole. And, even though it was designed for wood, and isn't carbide, if you go slow with it, it will work just fine. Been doing that for years now, with the same cheapo set. You can core into the foam with the hole saw, and an old bread knife works great for cutting out the last bit of foam up to your base. Trust me, you will want through bolts with fender washers. Make a little aluminum cover plate, and pop rivet it over your hole, or if you are like me, and like to have everything where it can be serviced, attach it with rivnuts or the like, so you can get to it, and tighten the bolts down.
