Need an extrusion to follow an arc from separate sketch

I may be doing this the hard way because I'm new to F360, but I would like my extruded screw holes to match the curve of the arc they sit next to. I think it would look nicer and probably 3D print easier. What's the best way to accomplish this?

Edit the sketch for the lugs, to be one long bar, and make the lug before the top cut.

Reorder the timeline for this.  Extrude edited to be both directions will get you there.

Is this what you want?  If so, just add one sketch and one extrusion of two profiles.

That will work, yes, thanks for the tip. It makes me wonder if there are other ways of doing the same thing, but in the order I was trying. Thanks again

Yes that's what I'm going for. It looks like both of you re-ordered my timeline, so I'm wondering if there's another way to have an extrusion follow a path or something. Anyhow, thank you!

Not if you are one for the KISS principle.

There are a few more complicated ways to do it, but any of those need more geometry, and / or operations

Sweep with Path and Guide Rail, or Loft, but both of those need a separate bolt hole operation.
