   It isn’t pretty and I have a lot of filing to do. I chain drilled enough that I could line up my dremel tool and finish up the hole. Amazing how hot the metal gets with a grinding wheel.
   (Edit) forgot to add the blasted photo!

     @va3db this is THE WORST part of any project. A jeweler's saw can be useful, if you haven't tried it yet. One day I'll have a small milling machine for this.

     @n8dmt @jmorris I could have replaced the front panel with a piece of heavy plastic but oh well!

     @jmorris @va3db A plastic front panel might have saved a lot of time. (Have similar case with plastic front and back. Was easy to install controls.)
