[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 489607, member: 3438"] As mentioned, it is probably 1" diameter where the threads and washer are. In tight locations, make sure you will be able to access to tighten the nut down and to a lesser degree tighten the hose clamp. I think you will be fine with a bi-metal hole saw. I have used "recessed" spade bits, with a small pilot hole. You end up making an aluminum washer. By "recessed", I mean it cuts at the outter edge and tapers away. Do not use the flat, straight style. [/QUOTE]
