What up guy I was trying to install the usb bulkhead cable bracket that comes with the Demon RTP. But I was have trouble getting a nice clean cut on the ecu casing. What type of tool or bit do you guys use for this?

Heres a picture of the part Im talking about.


Thanks

 

Drill bit and then a buzz saw (body saw). Or a dremel tool works well as well.

 

Pretty much the same, but I used a cutoff wheel on an air grinder instead of a saw. Not usually a great idea on aluminum but the cuts were small so it didn't have a chance to load up.

Make sure you remove the board from the ecu frame completely before cutting and clean it very well before reassembly.

 

Thanks guys

 

I make an outline with a marker on the outside of the ECU case with the s300 board or the Demon USB conector installed, remove the board/connector and use my Dremel. Looks profesional!

 

I use a chop saw

 

That seems a bit extreme

 

Not when you do 20-50 per week...

 

I didnt have any tools to notch the case so I had to improvise and use a uni-bit on the cover, then thread the mini USB thru it and secure it on the center housing. I tucked it as best as I could after running to the glovebox for easy plug in to USB.

 

Damn!!!

 

/end thread. lol

Cut off wheel for us low usage guys.

 

I tried a dremel... but my $7 harbor freight one couldn't cut it.

Going to go again today with a saw and an angle grinder...

 

bench grinder...depending the grinder you have, its nearly the perfect width. I use an big angle grinder though.
