Use sharp tools and don't rush it. I have found that a drill press rather
than hand drilling helps a lot. I use plexiglass scraps quite a bit in
projects. Pick them up free from the glass place. Even pieces large enough
to mount a couple of large variables find their way into the scrap bin.
Then use small aluminum angle pieces to mount to chassis.
