Standard aviation snips work real well.  Does wonders for your grip

strength too.  You can also trim it up with an abrasive wheel for final

fit.  Use the abrasive cutting disc.  Remember that with S.S. it work

hardens.  Get serious when you want to grind or drill and make the sparks

or chips fly.  If you don't you will have a tough time especially with the

drilling.  See Tony Bingelis, "Firewall  Forward" page 100.  To give you an

idea, S.S.  is often used in the mining industry for liners in material

handling systems where the product is highly abrasive.  It hardens off as

it is used and forms an abrasive resistant surface.
