I realised just after posting that a hacksaw or a Dremel is whats

Complete waste of time for a job this small - a junior hacksaw will do
just fine.

Yes - that hacksaw takes just a few strokes so it's not really an effort.

Tim I was trying to get hold a square file. I
assume a full size file means its 8" long? I also can't find a coarse
one most of the ones I've found are second cut. Does it make much
difference? I found this:

A set of needle files is ideal for this sort of thing.


Needles work too. I happened to have a big (prob 8" long) to hand and being
just a little less wide than the hole also required only a few strokes to
clean up - and it squares everything off without really trying.
