Title: Best procedure to drill the holes in the headcab¿? Post by: Xavi_Spain on June 24, 2010, 12:07:19 PM I'm gonna fit the chassis on my new headcab of my S&M.
The problem is that the headcab arrives without the holes. I'm gonna drill all 8 holes but: Can somebody tell me the best and safest procedure for doing the "drill and fit" work¿? Thank you guys!!

Tape it to the top (bottom, but you've got the amp upside down on the bench) of the amp with masking tape, in at least 6 places pulling it tight. Take a childs crayon and rub along the edges to mark the outline. Then find the mounting holes and mark them with a felt pen (use a big + and o superimposed). Do this just before actually drilling the holes, paper stretches quite a lot in damp weather (not that you'd get much of that this time of year in Spain.....) so don't leave it lying around.
Cut round the outline and tape it to the top of the amp (you might need to remove the handle) and use it to drill the holes. Personally I would drill smaller pilot hole first to prevent damage to the tolex, then use a modelling knife to cut the tolex before drilling the correct size holes.
