Buy a good pair of red aviation snips. Not the regular ones, get the offsets. Use a pair of dividers to scribe the line. drill a starter hole with a Uni-bit. When using red snips cut the circle counter-clockwise.

I've got an image now of the results of trying to cut GRP with aviation snips!
Next week on custom my ride we'll be trying to cut a sun roof in a 54 sedan with garden shears.

Sorry, obviously I assumed he was building a Haynes Roadster to book design. If he is using glass parts an Oxy/Aceylene torch would be the best choice, but only because in the UK firearms are hard to obtain, here we would use a 45 caliber pistol to make the holes.

Oh now thats funny! I'm sitting here giggling to myself
Guns are not hard to find here in the UK most farmers own shot guns although the pattern is not correct for the front brackets. 9mm semi auto's can be brought in Romford or Dagenham for £200-300 although don't come with a years warrenty or a foam lined storage case.
