I cut the flanges as simple rectangles using a cutting wheel in my 4.5" angle grinder.
I used foil tape to template the heads. Then I used the template to locate the first hole, drilled it to 3/8".
I cut the heads off six bolts to use as locator studs. One I ground to a point in the drill, simulating a lathe, to use as a center punch.
I screwed a stud in the head in the first hole, and the center punch stud in the rear hole. Slid the flange over the locator stud, and smacked the flange with a hammer. This effectively marked the rear hole.
Using this method, I located and drilled each hole.
The flange was a tight fit over the studs, so I over drilled all holes by1/32". Now the flanges are a smooth fit over the studs.
I'll take them to school and cut the port holes on an end mill tomorrow..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.
