Under Handbrake coin holder installation instructions / template?

[buggerlugs]

Hi all,
I am looking to fit a new tray that sits under the handbrake on the central 'tunnel' of our A2 and was wondering if there is a template out there that will assist in cutting the holes required for the clips to slot into.
Or is there another easy method of getting it installed?
I could take the tray out of our other car and create a stencil by a 'primary school rubbing' or tracing technique, but do not want to risk breaking off any tabs in its removal or refitting.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

There's an old guide which shows how to fit it using number plate sticky pads, but it does require removal of the plastic lugs. I followed these instructions recently and all went well!

Thanks for the link, I thought I had seen one somewhere. I am really looking to do this with the clips and holes as reluctant to cut the clips off. Having said that, better to do than than damage the tunnel underneath. Unless another infallible instruction emerges, I will go for the sticky pad method. There is no rush though; christmas present for the wife............surely nobody can top that!!!

What I did was place some masking tape in the rough area of where it looks like the clips fit. Then I coated the ends of the clips with tippex and lowered the storage tray into position gently pressing down. Now remove the tray and you should find tippex transferred onto the masking tape. Square up and complete any missing areas. You now have the locations to cut with a thin bladed sharp knife or drill and file. Take your time and adjust the size to take the spring clips.
