How big a hole& *how thick a rubber strip?

I don't have the actual size of the hole, but its the usual 5"x5" L or T
brace with pre-drilled holes that home depot sells. the strip is 2"W x
36"L x 1/8" thick and haven't cut to desired length which is 1"W x 5"L.
(i'm wondering how I'm gonna cut it nice and even, prolly with a sharp
knive and ruler I suppose).

Is gorilla glue sufficient for bonding rubber to metal?

If the hole is small, make a punch out of steel pipe as others have
suggested. If large use tinsnips. Medium holes can be cut and rough
edges can be ground off with an angle grinder if you have one. If you
have a lathe, rubber can be machined, use a high speed and cutting
oil. It can be drilled too, again using high speeds and cutting oil.
Be sure to fasten down securely.
