tizzle when i done the vk i found u can use the bonnet locking hole and the bonnet lock as a guide or drill a hole ruffly where the center of the air cleaner is and put a mark on the top through the hole and measure it out that way easy as champ. use a jigsaw on slow with a new blade

Yep did mine with a jigsaw too, and lots of masking tape down first.

Funny story there too - did mine late into the night, actually it was 1:00am - out in the driveway.... ahhh the beautiful sound of screeching metal in the still of the night.. AWESOME! :)

Pretty popular boy that night ;)

open your bonnet and run some string across from guard to guard crossing over your bolt hole put a bit of masking tape on your guards and mark with a pencil where it is then repeat on the scuttle and nose cone once marked close the bonnet put some masking tape where you think it might be then use the pencil marks to rerun the string and where it crosses is where your carby bolt will be pretty good chance it will be of to the left i know chevs are once you have your hole its up to you if you use a protractor or again some string by placing a bolt through the whole and some string at the length required say for instince if its a 11 inch air cleaner and you wanted a 12 inch hole (thats alowing half inch clearance)you would run 6 inchs of string once marked its your choice of cutting method i use a hack saw but its noisey and the edges still need finer finishing by hand.
