4.5" Holesaw

Anyone have one? Preferably in the Calgary region, although I will be up to Edmonton on the weekend. I want to cut the holes in my center caps so I can put them on the front of my truck again.

EMS has been installed since Thanksgiving. Been crusing without centers for that long.

Thanks Luke, they don't look half bad. 4.5" probably would've been a bit better, but we would have to actually drilled them on center. Maybe next time. The rears on mine still don't want to sit flat, always cockeyed on there.

I was wondering if it was hanging up on the axle flange bolt heads. Will have to investigate further at a later date.
