Thanks for all the suggestions. Honestly the jig saw with metal cutting blade
never occurred to me (mental block?), I kept thinking of either using a burr
on the die grinder or a cutting torch. But that's why I read the suggestions
on this list.
Thanks everyone,
Bob

A metal cutting blade in a jig saw plus a steady hand should do the job.
Cutting oil will make the blade last longer but you'll still probably want at
least two blades (so get four...). I used my jig saw with a metal cutting
blade to cut many parts out of 14ga steel to repair my MGA chassis.
