Those clips worked then

a jigsaw does cut aluminium (we do it all the time). You just need to keep the material and blade cool, otherwise the blade clogs up. Best way is with water! and keep the speed down

That looks smick...

But where do you keep the jack handle & other bits & pieces?

Actually i didnt use the clips there was to much crap in behind the panel,so i went with rivets.And the spare tyre "just" fits,its pretty much sitting on the rear bumper.I think with a new rear bar,which wont sit out as far as the original it will clear it.So ive got all those bolts and clips here if you can think of something to put them on lol.
