Yes, and I worry a bit about the abliliy to DRILL a 2" plus hole in
sheet metal. A Greenlee K-O punch would be the best plan. But hey, we're
here to help! Bring it over to my house, there's one in the van. (that
would be the elderly 82 Vanagon)
Not in my neighborhood? try your_friendly_local_electrical_contractor
(FLEC) for ability to make precise holes in sheet metal in confined
areas.(Only in conduit trade sizes, however)
