size of hole required for a 6.5 x 2.25 trailer light
« on: Sep 12, 2006, 07:01:12 PM »
what size of hole is required to install a 6.5x2.25 trailer light?  Like an idot I milled my new bumper out to thos dimsensions today only to realize that I wasted my lunch.  I am guesing that it needs to be .125 over size to make room for the gromet and stuff, but when I put my caliper on it (with the gromet on) I had to squize the :pokinit: out of the gromet to get it down to 2.5!  does the hole need to be .25 over sized.  (I am using a hole saw in two locations than a end mill to conect the two)  TIA!

1/8" each way is correct.  So 6.75 x 2.5.
