u sure? you might wanna post another 3 times 
How come? Main reason is that im limited in the tools I have available, if I can get a 114mm holesaw right away then its all good. I suppose I could go in the morning, hire a holesaw and then in the afternoon be it ready for chroming.
apologies for the weird triple post have no idea how/why that posted 3 times.
Reason I suggest you cut the holes first is that one tiny slip of the saw is going to really spoil the chrome, whereas if you make a slight scratch before chroming you can reduce its visibility.
Plus chrome is going to be more "slippery" to cut into than ally/steel.

I understand where you are coming from, but masking tape will stop slipping. I will get it cut before chroming though.
Ok some good news and bad news, good news is that the parts are at the plating company ready to be chromed. Bad news is that it is costing me £80
and will take about 2 weeks.
and will take about 2 weeks.

unlucky m8, it's gonna be a long 2 weeks 
It will be worth the wait because the visible parts are being hand polished. Quite a bit of manual labour involved.
If I sell my old cam I can even get my aquatube anodised within the two weeks.
Otherwise all I gots to do is twiddle my thumbs.
