switch plinth holes

The TR6 (and others) has holes in the dash switch plinth for a variety of
switches and control knobs. These switches and control knobs fit into the
plinth via an almost round hole. I say almost because in order to properly
orient the switch, the hole will be shaped like a plump D with the flat part
of the hole matching up to a flat on the threaded shaft of the switch (ie.
the heater switch, the choke control knob, the heat control knob, etc.).

Does anyone have a technique for making such D shaped holes? (I don't have a
metal lathe or any other such equipment, no CNC machine either).

Thanks for any insights.
