found this link, but yeah just make a profile using metal wire.. shape it to your liking and make sure you know where the strut bar will cross place the profile over the location trace it and start cutting ^^ notice some tips on that link. Good luck man ^^

Mark it up, take it out, drill a pilot hole, then cut with a jigsaw. Best piece of advice is to start small - you can always work the shape larger/neater with sandpaper.

If you want to get a really neat finish, pop down to a decent sized halfords or the like and find youself some of that rubber door trim/gasket to run round the edges of the cut. This stuff:

i used a hole saw and cut circles.

You could drill a pilot hole and then use a core drill, that way you're pretty much guaranteed a prefectly round hole
