The down side to this is it takes about 30 or so minutes each to make one. I charge $20 each for them which I know sounds a little steep. I can post a pic if the ones I make if you like. If this sounds like something you may be interested in, let me know and I will cut one out for you. If not, no problem.

ebfabman,

70c10swb, sorry that was a three only promo a while back (they were taken fast) to raise donation funds for this message board. However if you purchase a Cab Repair DVD set, I will include a filler patch at half price ($10) if this would help.


Thanks......eb

I like matthufhan's, all you need is a piece of sheet metal bigger than "that there hole", and a rivet gun. No template and no need to "massage" that piece of metal.

Ok, so how much for the filler and DVD? I am curious now.

You can fill the filler hole by taking a short piece of 2 in exhaust pipe 5in long & slicing it off at an angle- same angle as back of hole, cap the other end with a piece of flat plate, butt it up to the back of the hole and weld it in.
Then drill a1/2 hole in the bottomcenter, drill another hole in the bottom1/4 in size to the side so water can drain out, then install a electric antenna in the tube, wire it up under the carpet to the radio and you have filled the hole with something you needed anyway. 72mdgmc

Thanks for the information, but I want to fill the hole so it looks like it was never there.

I am not installing an AM/FM radio, as I posted earlier. Just an XM radio tuner and MP3 Player.

What's the rivet gun for?




I have and can use pretty well a few types of welders.
