Better as Birtles. I would guess you will have made a very expensive mistake and trashed the panel.

Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Installing New Gauge in Electroluminescent Panel

I'm installing a new gauge in an empty spot on our 84FC35 instrument panel (this is a Wanderlodge II which doesn't have all of the instruments other FC's have). I need to cut a 2 inch hole in the panel.

I have the panel free and can see that it's clear below. Question is: Has anyone cut a hole for a gauge in one of these panels? If so, let me know if you have any tips on how to do it. My plan at this point is to drill a number of small holes around the perimeter of the circle and then join them with a small Dremel cutting tool.
