Finally completed filing. Next one will be cut closer to size, that was a lot of filing.

Try a blank of HSS or similar in a drill chuck (grind a round on one end), and use that as a manual broach using the quill of your mill. You'll have to sharpen the end to get the results you want, but would probably beat filing.
Have done that a few times to make odd shapes you can't normally do in a mill. Just shave a few thou at a time...
Also, You can get nylon tipped screws, I saw them somewhere...
