create the Torsion bar plug | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

I have been thinking to create the torsion bar removal hole in the body

Any ideas on how to do this? I was thinking just to make the hole with a hole saw, then a metal disc with bracket to hold it in place?

What diameter of hole?

John Steele / JPS does this with a 2" hole saw but cuts into the the body just enough to make a scribe line then fills in the drill bit pilot hole.....looks close enough from a couple of feet away. ~Alan

I bought mine from Vintage Speed (I think). They're cast aluminum. Holes are already in the Beck bodies
