Of course, you are right....

Round is always easier. That is what is so nice about the CB connectors I was telling you about. However, for square holes, I really find those nibbler things work very well. I will have to look and see, but I think they will go up to 1/8" on alum. I have used my nibbler a lot and love it.

Good advice JWB - especially for the Cinch. On those CB mic connectors I was talking about though, they have only one combination. Females on the cable connector, males on the panel mounts. But, the panel mount male plug are completely recessed, so they cannot be easy shorted out with anything. I'll attach a photo.

(Homer Simpson-like Dooh !) Right on JWB. Nothing wrong with fuses to protect your PS from connection shorts too. Any cable that gets plugged and unplugged is eventually subject to failure.
