Hi Guys
I've got a few of these and can feel a Hicap replacement project coming on.
Got all the bits to build th first one and the only thing I haven't attempted before is to cut out a big rectangular hole for a fused switched IEC inlet.
I'm considering doing it by the cheating method of cutting out a c shaped hole at one edge of the case, which is probably a whole lot easier but a bit of a bodge. I could do that by just making two hacksaw cuts and work hardening out the middle bit with a pair of grips.
Is there an easy way to do it properly and accurately without any special tools? I know I could drill out lots of holes and join them up and file the edges square but that's a bit of a fag.
