If it's any use, you can buy the 52mm hole cutter die, only £18, so could easily diy one yourself.

did think that but its never gonna be as neat as a proper one, they where on ebay a while back but seem to have dissapeared

The holes left after using the cutter die is smooth enough to rub on your face, it even creates a tiny dish on one side.
I have used these hole punches for years, the most you ever have to do is a quick whizz with a emery cloth to take off tiny burrs, and that's when the cutter is shagged.
I'm buying the hole punch anyway, so would do you one if you want, could be SS, polished or not, or carbon if I can scrounge some off cuts from me mates bin!!

Thanks for the offer mate, the only prob is the surround for the clock isnt quite high enough to hold 52mm, you have to trim the outside surround of the console aswell ( if that makes sense ) with the proper facia it sinks the gauges behind, if you know what i mean

I see them for sale at the last show we where at with the rs logo in the corner i think you will have to wait for the next show in april...

That can be done real easy, the amount of work/materials that go into them does not warrant the rip off price imo.
I got a spare surround bit from another sierra, and just cutting a thin plate from polished SS to fit on front, after cutting back out so just using the outer part of it, as support for the plate, then loads of room for gauges/switches etc, well that's what I am doing anyway, got it sat on me desk next to me granny tacho!!

ive got two of these kicking about if you get no joy

bad boy rs,
When my hole punch has arrived and I've made it, I'll send you one FOC, you tell me if they don't do the exact thing you want, I'll even do it out of carbon if you like FOC, or polished SS.
