The process revealed more heat shielding is needed for my plug wires so another Summit order was placed and we should be good to go for our tune next weekend! 
On the holes, I did not make a template, sorry. I just had a buddy help me eyeball from 2 angles to get the drill bit above the right spot based on the contour of the cover. A couple of my holes were slightly off but I made them 3/4 of an inch in diameter so a 10mm, 1/4" socket had some wiggle room.
Good luck on your mods. Share the results!  |
OK, Thanks I have a tool coming from snap on that may work...If not then out comes the drill.
On the plug wires, did you re-use the metal plug insulators?
