Cutting hole to access bleeder on slave.
Does anyone have the measurements to properly cut a hole in the tunnel to access the bleeder on the clutch slave? Searched and all I can find is people "talking" about doing this. I'd rather cut once instead of twice. Spare me the comments on why you wouldn't cut a hole in your car.
Thanks,
Kyle

Apparently this trick works on the Camaro, I haven't come across any info that anyone has done it to a Corvette. There was some discussion it wouldn't be an "effective" solution on a Corvette due to the location of the bleeder within the tunnel.

There was a post in this forum that cut a hole using a hole saw just forward of the gas pedal. Pull back the carpet and do a test hole with a half inch drill bit. there are two walls you go through. Use a flash light to locate the bleeder and if your close use a bigger hole saw. You can buy rubber plugs like the ones used in the firewall to plug the hole back up. sorry I don't know the post number.

C7 A8's are having their share of issues. A6's (2014) seem to be better.
I recently acquired a 2014 M7 C7 and it's awesome. I could not convince myself to go A8 even though it's my dd.

Not commenting on drilling the hole for the bleeder, but you can stack two hole saws on one arbor. I have done it many times. Drill hole with 1/2" hole saw, then drill with larger hole saw and 1/2" saw on the same arbor.
