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.

What news are you looking for? I think you need to start trying to buy the parts on Ebay and then ask any specific questions as and when the need arises
