Michael,
One way to mark the locations of the holes might be to put double-ended
screws (with points on both ends -- which you'll have to make) at the four
corners. Position the panel carefully and press it into place so that the
screws puncture, or at least mark, the corners. It should be simple to
measure from those to locate the other screw holes. Or use the marking
screws at every location.
JWIMD,
Ken H.
