Rusty (and all), High tech? You want high tech? Try this GUARANTEED method of getting the holes drilled with the right spacing - use a drafting screw-type DIVIDER such as http://www.draftingsteals.com/20007.html. Align the divider's points with the pins on the model part and then place the tips of the divider on the model and gently press until the tips make enough of an impression on the model to serve as a drill guide.
One question about these parts, though... concerning the mounting pins that go into the holes you drill on the model... I noted in some of the photos that these pins are bent. Understanding a little about the soft nature of brass, I'm wondering if this is this going to be a problem? When I go to straighten these pins to install them, are the pins going to break off? And are they going to be strong / durable enough to hold the steps on the model once installed? I don't see this being the case considering the small size of the pins, and I'm afraid I'm gonna end up having to replace them as well, although for a different reason than from the factory steps...
