I also posed the same question about hole size for the shifter to Lokar....they just responded with the recommendation of using a 4" hole saw to cut the hole for the shifter. I don't know if I've seen a hole saw that big I guess it mostly depends on the type of shifter boot I decide on.....

That will work - you will just have to square it off with metal trimmers (if necessary).
This is what you need - 4" hole saw, an arbor to mount it on and a Jilson Metal Shear (http://www.jilson.com/shears.htm).

You can buy the hole saw and arbor from McMaster Carr
( http://www.mcmaster.com/) and the shear from Eastwood though I paid a lot less from someone else (

McMaster-Carr has all kinds of good stuff - my orders get to me overnight as yours probably would as they have a warehouse in LA. They ship at cost. Lots of good fasteners and other misc. hardware - much better then Home Despot or Lowes and equivalent or better then Fastenal.
