Default Electric Cut Out

I was wondering what a good Electric Cut Out would cost me plus an install. I have the few mods listed below and I think it would be fun to have to cut outs. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

You could install yourself fairly easy. I did.

Here is one at summit for $151.95.

Cut a section of pipe out where you want to put the cut out, put slide the cutout over each side and weld or clamp it down. Then run your wiring and you're done.

You say cutout and cutouts. I am assuming you only want one.

Do exactly this, haha. There are probably a few detailed threads on how to install that will give wire "routing" tips and cutting/clamping tips if you search. Good luck!

installing the "electric" part of the cutout isnt that bad either. It took me probably 2 hours going slow and hiding hte wires, just know where you want to put your switches and indicators ahead of time. and use the rubber plugs on the bottom of hte floorboard to run your wires up through. easy

I spent roughly $175 on the electric QTP cutout and around $140 for the install. Well worth every penny!
