[TR] Installimg TR4A door panels

[Bob Danielson]

Are you saying that the hardboard has no holes for the Window and Door 
cranks? I believe that's how Moss makes them. Your best bet is to use your 
old panels as a guide and cut a 1" or 1-1/8" hole using a Forstner bit. ( 
http://www.mcmaster.com/#forstner-drill-bits/=s2z65u ) They're best used in 
a drill press, have no center point protruding past the cutting edge so you 
can cut the board without catching any vinyl. If you decide to use a spade 
bit, I'd first drill a small hole through the hardboard from the backside 
and then use an awl to punch through the vinyl. Now that you've found the 
center of the hole, use a cutting punch to cut about a 1/4" hole in the 
vinyl. That should be enough to avoid the spade center point catching the 
vinyl. Then very carefully drill through the back of the panel with your 
spade bit

So I have my new TR4A door panels with no holes for the door handle and 
window
crank. I do have a old set of panels with holes. What is a good way of 
cutting
those holes without damaging my new door panels?
Thanks,
Dave Connitt
