Question Bag Guys? How do I/holes for air fitting in frame

How did you guys get the holes in the frame for the top of bag for air fittings, and the two studs? Drill? Hole saw? Cutting torch?

In an article I saw in cct they just took a big ol' drill bit and drilled out the the hole to fit the top of the bag in. But a cutting torch might be more fun!

I didn't do any hole sawing. Can you clarify what you're trying to do? Is this front or rear?

Sorry my bad. Rear upper bag frame holes. I picked up a 3/4" drill bit. Pilot hole first then going to drill. Template.

What about rear spacer brackets/shims?

I used a drill for the bolt holes and a hole saw for the fitting holes. Using the hole saw no fun, but I think it was still faster than drilling a pilot and stepping up around 10 times to get to the proper size.

Again, no drilling here... the top of my rear bags have a small bracket on them that looks roughly like this...
