Dashboard metal thickness
Posted: 13 Jul 2016, 16:29
A very specific question that someone might know the answer for: what gauge / thickness of steel is the main dashboard?
I need to put a 29mm hole in our dashboard to take a USB charger. Only trouble is that I need to do this job without access to power tools. I'm thinking of using a hand-drill for a pilot hole and then a Q-Max cutter to punch the final opening, but these have a maximum thickness of steel they can cut, and I don't have access to our van right now to measure it myself.
Does anyone know the answer to this or have access to a dash and micrometer that could find out for me?
Thanks
