john:
you are dealing with a full price mark-up retailer (no matter what
their name is), try googling
"alvin instruments" or "alvin drafting", their dealers will come up
(no company direct sales),
good discounts, better products, (or the same)

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...

The second photo is of my high tech method of hole location, push
and twist.
