T5 measurements - please help!

Hey, Ok, i'm doing the T5 swap and i have a slight problem: I'm not sure where to cut/drill the hydrolic MS holes, and the hole for the shifter. I'm doing all this while rebuilding the engine, so theres no engine or tranny in the car at the moment.. which makes it good for space.

I bought all the stuff from an already scraped car, so i can't get any measurements off that... so, if anyone has a template they can post, or meassurements it will be more than helpful.

thanks.

the search is back up in case it was not noticed, theres much information on this, someone even made a template you can print out for cutting your master cylinder holes

anyways, never thought of doing it this way until just now but if you really need to make sure the holes are going in the right space bolt up the pedal assembly first, the 2 rods on each end connect to the u-bolt on the master cylinder... that will put you dead on for those holes, then you just gotta drill out the big hole in the center
