Here's how I've done this:

1. mark centre of rear-end of dropout where cutout should be

2. draw 10mm circle around this spot

3. draw two straight lines going forward to connect with existing drop-out slot

4. verify drawing matches slot on left drop-out

5. drill a small 2-3mm pilot hole at spot marked in #1, make sure it's on centre

6. drill larger 10mm hole over that pilot hole

7. connect front dropout slot to rear hole with hacksaw.

8. finish off with file & paint.
