Tin snips ? grinding wheel ? hacksaw ? Do you cut it screw thread down, to stop anything falling in or what ?

Mick True Cut the paper element apart off of the steel center at both ends and then cut it length wise so you can spread it out and look at the bottom of the folds Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.
