Stunning job, I know this may have been asked a million times... I would like to pay someone to do this including obtaining the parts, for a couple of reasons:

a) I'm crap at DIY
b) I'm lazy
c) I'm crap at DIY

ok thats 3, does anyone know a dealer that offers this service... in the UK.

Ta,

Neil

John

Not sure what you wnat guidance with, ebay is best way to locate parts, cutting the hole requires a template and a dremel type tool with flexible attachment, it is really s aimple mod, just tkaes time, and nerve to cut the hole.
