The hole needs to be the exact size as a bumper bolt hole. Has anyone ever seen one or know where I can buy one? I need to punch three holes .

I needed to fill some extra holes in my roadster firewall. He gave me the name : GREEN LEE , brand name , hole punch set......went to ebay and found sets for round holes, did not see any for square holes , wasn't looking for them. I imagine they make them also. Or contact / google the company. Other option is too drill a hole and using a square file , open it to the size needed. mike lynch

Or if you are gullible you can order a set of drills from one of those ad's they have on late.late.late TV movies that only show movies featuring those Japanese monsters. Like "The June bug that Ate Tennessee". These drill bit are guaranteed to drill a perfect SQUARE HOLE..or your money back...And if you order in the next 30 minutes we will send you 2 sets (only pay extra shipping & handling.......Good Luck with that....ED I was only wrong one time in my life so far. But that time I was right, and only thought I was wrong....ED

I fear all you'd be doing in the way of "punching" is making dents...Filing a hole square is a lot of fun...Just ask Ed how much "character" it builds...Enough of that...Before you do start filing use a "Scratch Awl" to lay-out the square...No sense in filing anymore than you have too. Besides you want it to look "purdy"...What the heck are you bolting up now, anyway...? 1947 Fleetmaster Sport Coupe VCCA # 47475 If it's not wearing a Bowtie...It's not properly dressed...!

I'd drill a hole, scribe the square, and file it out. Maybe use a Dremel to get it close and then file the rest. Cheers, Dean Dean 'Rustoholic' Meltz old and ugly is beautiful!

BTW When you mentions "Braces" BY any chance are you referring to "suspenders" used to hold up ones pants???...Or to translate into the language used were you come from "Galois's used to hold up ma trousers" Please excuse my interpretation of your English (sic) I am a High School drop-out and and not used to all that thar fancy uptown talk......Thanx...Ed I was only wrong one time in my life so far.
