Bob Roberts takes checks too.

I promise you if I order from 5 vendors on monday, including Bob, and send Bob a check and pay the others online, that Bob's package will be the first one to arrive.

I have to second this.  My package from Bob showed up the day after he emailed me saying that he received my payment, from Louisiana to Nevada.  I avoided ordering from Bob for a long time because he doesn't take Paypal.  I finally ordered because I needed the mounting plate and I couldn't find it anywhere else.  I am really glad I did, Bob carries a lot of hard to find stuff, and he is great to deal with.

bi-metal hole saw is cheap and works fine.  You can get cleaner holes with a punch but its more expensive.

The hole saw you need for metal costs more than the plate does.

You need a 1 1/8" bimetal hole saw, one of the ones that lists METAL as something it cuts. I usually only get about a dozen holes out of one of them before it is toast.
