Jack,
If you can find someone with a set of metal punches (one brand is Greenlee)
they may have a D-hole punch in the size you need. It makes a very nice
clean hole with no panel distortion. Good luck!

PS - You can buy the punch from someone like W. W. Grainger, but "it ain't
cheap"! Expect to see prices in the $150 - $160 range! Don't know if
anyone rents these or not.
