Cut on red line.

thats the general shape (and location) of the tube im having fabed up.

I don`t think that I would like that board in front. Maybe if you painted it.

Here's another idea...

Carefully cut the two holes to matching shapes.

Then you can tell everybody they're supposed to be there. If they ask why, stare at them like they've lost their minds & mutter something about lack of education.

As Defective said, cut them to matching shapes, then silicone/liquid nails a couple pieces of plexiglas with a tint over the holes (think sunroof/skylight). Pretty good find for 10 bucks. For 25 you probably could have got one without holes.

I hope you post a picture of your final fix. Lookin' good!

Before you modify it, consider putting some rear lights and speakers in the front or whatever combination works best. There are lots of kits that fill these needs. I suspect that what the holes were originally for.

It's an old golf cart top, the holes are hand holds. Pretty much every cart has them. And that's a darned fine idea there!

um...nope...wouldn't stick MY hand in there...them broken edges can be sharp...

Take a closer look at the pictures & the text in the first post.

You were planning to mount a couple of lights on the front anyway so take advantage of the openings that are already there and figure out a design that makes good use of the head start you’ve been given.

Good point, Defective, a closer look was needed! A lot of carts do have hand holds in that location, but they are rounded off. Maybe someone tried to make their own? Anyway, its a good spot to hang lights from (and file down to a soft, rounded edge).
