Default External shock canisters at rear

What would be the best place to cut openings for external shock canisters? I do not have dry release / quick disconnect thingys, so holes need to be 2" (50mm) in diameter.
The cage will be installed in near future and canisters attached to it.

Mark to picture pls! (If you don't have pictures of installation...)

Sorry, wrong forum....

Pete, my tech ran the quick connect hoses through grommets that were already in the body. Check for them. Why would you need 2" holes?

Instinctively, I would think that opening up an existing hole to 2" would be best?

Best place is behind where the rear seat buckets are: then have the holes covered in order to pass tech as you opened the firewall.

I look for pics of how we did it on my car
