I bought it, bolted it in and hey presto. Beats the old setup where the previous owner just threw it in the spare wheel well

Use two sizes of tube offcuts, smaller first place under the sheet metal, hammer around to form a crease, cold chisel around circle to cut out metal smooth with a file if needed, or use a hole saw to cut the initial hole. Swap to slightly a larger diameter pipe offcut under the sheet and use a bossing mallet to finish off the hole.

Edit: Found a video!

I wish I had the time and patience to do that. It would be very satisfying. It’s taken me long enough to do just the boot so it’ll be shop bought items for me
