Have heard that some people have had issues with non standard speaker holes whether they were done neatly or not.
Think it depends on how anally retentive the person is that is doing the inspection.
To be on the safe side I would repair it while access is easy.
Small job now that could be a nightmare once the car is finished.
After reading so many posts here over the years, the one consistent thing is that there is no consistency in what is allowable between inspectors.
An older guy doing an inspection would seem to be less problematic than a young guy. Or girl for political correctness.
Some inspectors/engineers will use the VSB14 as it was intended as a guide. Others will use it as hard and fast rulings.
Then there will be those who will allow a particular modification provided you do xyz. Others will tell you you need to do lmn as well as xyz and would like you to do pqr as well.
It is a hit and miss thing depending on how the inspector/engineer looks at things. But it is his business/insurance on the line.
I do remember years ago an engineer in Camden NSW.
He was passing just about anything, particular lift kitted 4WDs.
He had terminal cancer and didnt have long to live, and just wanted the money to make hos last months more comfortable.
