    Not done it before but I imagine... Measure roughly where the centres of the pulleys are using a ruler, knowing roughly where the belt cover sits (in line with the rocker cover ridge). Drill a pilot hole and trial fit to ensure they're in the middle of the pulley bolts. Then draw round the hole with one of those things you use in school

    Cutting, maybe a dremel?
