[DeTomaso] Stereo Head Unit Installation ?

My Pantera has an old style radio. The opening in the console is rectangular
with a hole on either side for the knobs to pass through. I'm about to
install a new DIN chassis head unit which naturally requires a standard 2" x
7" DIN opening in the console. I am told that the location of this DIN
opening is critical and I don't want to assume that my current opening is
centered exactly where the opening for a larger DIN chassis head unit should
be. Does anyone have a template I could borrow or perhaps someone has
accurate dimensions to reference the location of the DIN opening? I'm REALLY
nervous because my console is covered in leather, which I'm going to have to
cut away, and I don't want to mess up. What is the best way to cut away the
metal under the console covering (in my case, leather)? Any other tips would
be appreciated.
