Greenlee makes "D" punches. You drill the hole small, put the shaft of
the punch through, assemble it on the two sides and then use a wrench to
tighten the punch up and make the hole. I've used them for mounting
switches in rack panels, can't see that a dashboard would be any
different. They cost ~$20 each, though...
