Good morning…
“Nibbler” was not used to cut slot in coupler blank…but I did use “nibbler” to cut out coupler blank…
Here’s how I made slot…
Layout location of slot…Drill series of closely spaced, small holes in very straight line through coupler blank on layout line…Punch through remaining metal between holes with small straight tip screwdriver…True and clean up slot with an old fashioned “ignition points file“…(if you can find one)…
Note…it’s much easier to buy new couplers than make your own…but the challenge to me has always been making rather than buying…
My very best regards…Howard…
