-6 Oil Tank Installation Template

Does anyone know where I can find information on hole locations and sizes to install an OEM -6 oil tank in a 914 conversion project? I am aware that every 914 supposedly had dimples stamped into the bulkhead denoting the center of each hole needed to install the oil tank. But, I also need to know hole sizes; and, there has been some comments made that the dimples do not include every hole needed.

I want to punch/drill all the needed holes before I paint the car, which will be happening shortly.

Thanks in advance for any leads you can provide.

I've always just cut the holes based on the sizes of the fittings. I use a caliper, measure and then go the next bit size larger. I use cheap HF hole cutters on a drill motor.

Thanks for the response. I was interested in the template that allows me to lay out center for each of the holes. Do you know where I might be able to source the template?

Never seen one.....that why I suggest a little wiggle room on the hole size. Plus it assists in get the thing in there. It's a tight fit.

Aren't there dimples on the body panel that marks the center of the holes?
