Drill bit slightly smaller than the hole and use a small square shaped file to "
square" up the holes.

......or you could spend about $100-$125 and get a portable hole punch with square die from the friendly people @ Roper-Whitney. Eastwood also sells this product- but don't show the proper 3/16" square hole die in their catalog.

the Drill bit and 1/4 triangle file will be the cheapest for sure just takes a while.
