Cutting fibre glass

[JMorgan]

I want to cut a slot for a new boot light but don't want to make a pigs ear of it. Best TPI on a saw blade and how do you avoid/repair frayed edges. Looking at a long flourescant 12 volt. But if the start up is too much will go for bulbs, either way holes are needed.

Not sure about the size slot you wish to make, but I've used a 4" grinding wheel to do a lot of cutting on my M series and fraying was kept to a minimum.
If you sucessfully get your cut done and its very close to finish, just apply some gel coat and sand to 600 grit or so and it'll look "factory".
For finer work I use a Dremel tool with about a 1/2 inch round stone to grind small areas.

Not sure this helps because I've never used a blade.

If I can find it, thinking of 4-6" by 1" tube (arn't we all ) if electrics won't allow then a normal interior light size. No grinder or dremel so blade I think. Are dremels that good? Thanks for the tip on a mask. Gel coat? not down halfords is it?
Cheers

Talking of boot interior lights - is there supposed to be one in a Chimaera?

On older ones like mine there's a pair of pathetically dim festoon lamps that just about provide illuination through the number plate but as boot lights? Forget it.
