You might be struggling to get a nice round hole, so maybe do a practice run on some old sheet metal. Perhaps just post a small ad to see if you can barrow a hole saw. Probably much cleaner. Good luck and hopefully you'll like the result!
Hi Steve I just put the original and modified one on a scale and original is 178 gr (6.27 oz) and the modified weighs 112 gr (3.95 oz). I used a Sutton Viper Bi-Metal Holesaw 63 mm to cut out the hole. 63 mm was quite big so around 58 mm would have been better.
Yes correct because I took out the fuel cup including the bottom of the cup on which it was welded. It now allows me to put the crusader cup on it or any other pot or pan!
Deador I have found that the big vent hole in the front is more than enough for a big flame. You can always drill extra holes but I haven’t found it necessary.
I'm going to try this with cutting the hole with a Unibit Bit and Brace, a Hacksaw and a pair of Pliers. Thanks for posting. 👍

Awesome! What did you use to cut it and how much lighter is it?

Andre N Wow! That nearly cut the weight in half!

Good idea! But it may need some vent holes for better combustion.

@@anakratzas That's all good, then. It appeared that the flame hushed when the cup was placed over.
