Please help me with trim specs

I need to install the aluminum trim pieces that fit along the bottom of the "sail" panel on each side.
Problem is that on my car that area was repaired, and the holes for the clips are no longer present.
What I need: The exact size and location of the trim clip holes for these trim pieces. If I had PRECISE measurements from top, sides, and bottoms I could mark the holes, and drill. If someone can make a template for me--even better!!
thanks in advance for your help.

The male tabs on the trim slide so exact holes are not critical. Feel the bondo from the backside to locate the holes.

Thanks bowlsby, but that won't be an option due to way it was repaired and welded.
(I'm surprised that no one can answer what seems to me to be some simple measurements if you have a 914 shell sitting in your garage/yard.)

Another question: will the clip holes also go through the very bottom part of the vinyl on the sail, or is the vinyl cut to be just above the trim piece?

Thanks in advance for any help.
