is there any particular reason u wanna use square switch? otherwise, change to round-shape switch then easier. since u already have a drill then just go get a hole saw. only cost about RM13~18.

u sure hole saw that cheap? that day i went i saw rm70+ leh. the switch for fan and led. haha

ermm... i'm not sure about this 1. last heard it was only good for wood instead of metal work.

its a stupid ayam brand. spoil adi. i tried on wood first. not yet make full hole, the middle piece detach adi. not gonna use it/buy new one.

anyway i made some hole on the metal, using nails, actualy quite big hole, then i use this
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
