Default Mod gone horribly wrong

While I have posted a few times, this is the first thread I've started.

I'm somewhat embarrassed because this is a seemingly simple mod.

Typically this is free but in my case the costs were a little higher.

My first attempts failed because when I tried the "Fishing Line Technique'. I couldn't operate the spinning reel with one hand and the fishhook kept digging into my other hand.

So I got out the Sawzall.





Maybe a little too severe, so my next try would be a holesaw.





As you can see the 2.25" holesaw is the perfect size.

The end result is you have free GM Tree Ornaments.



Happy Holidays My Friends.
