good tip i picked up many moons ago cut a sponge to suit the hole needed, put powder or any other dry coloured stuff you have lying around(must be dry so it doesnt seep through and in to the carb) on one end of said sponge then place on top of carb, carfully shut bonnet, when opened you will have your hole marked, piolot drill the centre and shut the bonnet to check the pilot hole is center in the carb the hole saw to the correct size, hey presto Wink
