Default Need help on measurement on various for diamond plate

I purchased a sheet of diamond plate and want to cut out pieces for around the shifter (auto), below parkbrake and upper door at window. Is there a thread to help me that may have some Measurements of schematics so this is accurate. Thanks for any help

The easiest way to do this is to make a template using cardboard or paper. Cut your template with scissors or x-acto knife until it fits in the place you want to put the diamond plate. If you mess up the template, just cut another one until you have a perfectly fitting template. Then take the template and lay it on the diamond plate and trace it. Cut the diamond plate and install it. This is the easiest way of doing what you want to do.

Don't laugh, but I find aluminum foil to be excellent for making patterns, especially on curved surfaces. It is easy to form ,mark with a felt-tipped marker, trim to fit. Works really well transferring firewall openings , dashboards to "blanks" to be replicated.
