Hi Paul,
The hole I drilled to fit the ventilators was in the Plexiglas
windscreen. I think in the UK they call it "Perspex" or some such
thing. I used a cheap and simple tool called a "fly cutter", chucked
into my cordless drill. Make sure you have a steady hand, and turn the
drill at the lowest speed possible..........like 50 RPM if possible. It
made a neat, clean hole and I bonded the ventilator in with Redux. The
whole job couldn't have taken more than 5 minutes. I drilled the holes
in the outermost corners of the windscreen, leaving about one inch
clearance from the edges of the windscreen. I hope this description
helps.

Hi Gary, and others that have gone before me,
I was wondering how you were able to fit up the Ultimate ventilators
without damaging your paint finish.
Thanks, Paul
