Unless you are after a proper restoration, I would trim more from the upper edge of the cut-out to eliminate the remnants of the stock round holes. And then make a paper template after that.

Thanks to all for the quick replies ,brent made a good point about prep trimming which I have to do for the replacement piece anyway,good spotting (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . Still haven't worked a way to stop sparks going into the trunk ,thinking about cardboard with high temp silver tape which I have and aid that by an old wet towel nearby ....
