Making an opening in the fibre glass seat units
Is there a technique for cutting fibreglass as I want to flush mount a VHF unit. Any advice would be welcome

Yeh, but surely you don't ever want a square/rectangular hole cos of the stress risers. Yer always gonna want the corners roundish.
Did you get rid of those bulk SS fasteners?
