Mk1 escort front panel

[samurai]

I have this ford panel but i want the starter hole at the front so im going to drill it.

 

But how would i add the swaged to the hole?

 

 

Thanks

you can get the hole swagers in various sizes. I dont know where ours came from as have just permanantly borrowed my dads. its te same way they do the holes in the rally style panels. cut circular hole to size needed. use correct swaging tool which consists of two parts. when tighten bolt up it pushes the metal into the curved back shape. hope that helps.

Expensive for doing 1 hole

 

Is there a company that does this service?

I'm sure Gary (retromotorsport) could do that for you if you took a spin round the M25 to Harlow

exactly that, ive got three different sizes. I'm borrowing them on permanent loan from my dad so dont know how much they cost but they wont have been that much to buy other wise he wouldnt have bought three sizes!

Check your local nut and bolt stockists or ironmonger.
