Another quick-trick, is if the holes are not threaded, use two countersink type screws on two of the holes. Install the desired screws within the other holes, tighten and then remove and replace the two countersink screws. You should then be aligned as good as the hole features are manufactured. If nobody here is close, you might attach a picture or describe what you have better.

If hole are not thread , put 4 ball , and press the counter part,also you can make four samml bars with a flange and a sharp arrow end. If thread , put 4 full thread stud upward on each hole and prees the counterpart.

I'm not sure if I understand. Consider the 4 existing holes to be on a bolt circle. The bolt circle references the center of the part. I think you can reference new features to the Bolt Circle. I'm not sure if this helps.

If you are wanting to make something like a cover to go over those existing four holes. The standard way is with transfer screws. These are set screws with points in the center. They have a hex around them so you can screw them down into the holes, then you place your cover over them and tap with a brass hammer. Now you have four center punches where you need to drill. Another way is to place a piece of paper over the holes. Press around on the pattern with your damp thumb and cause an impression of the hole pattern. Now you can contact glue or tape the paper pattern to your work. Another is to use a piece of gasket paper that will also form your new gasket to use with your cover or whatever. Place the gasket paper over the hole. Then transfer each hole by placing a ball bearing (the ball itself) that fits some larger than the hole, over each hole and tap it with a brass hammer. Each time you "punch" a hole place a bolt into it to secure the gasket. When you are finished use the gasket as templete for the cover or whatever. Is this close to what you needed? /←randy→/ The worst suggestion of your lifetime may be the catalyst to the grandest idea of the century, never let suggestions go unsaid nor fail to listen to them.
