I have a 1976 13 sport. I have no original wood so I'm fashioning my own. Thanks to this incredible resource I think almost everything I need to know is here. I wanted to cut the front hatch cover today, but the pdfs don't include the location of a circular hole I've seen in some members' photographs. I haven't found definitive directions searching the discussion areas. Does anybody have original woodwork and could they tell me where to cut the hole and what size it should be? Thank you all.

That is just a finger hole, drill it dead center. It is 1 inch, maybe and 1 1/4 inches depending on your preference.

There are tons of photos in the personal page link on the left sidebar.
Here is one hole on a 1972 model:

It depends on the year on how many holes, if any, and where they are located.

Here are two holes on a 1973 model:

Here is a 1974 model with one hole:

Take a look around and browse the personal pages.
