There's not one. Maybe just buy the pre-punched chassis?
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

What about draw the template based on pictures of the chassis, find out the dimensions of the chassis to have an idea about where the drillings will be ? 
Theory is when everyone knows everything but nothing works, practice is when stuff works but nobody knows why !!!

If you are planning building using a eyelet/Turrent board and not point wiring and you do drill your own chassis consider reversing the drill pattern on the front and back.  IOW put the front controls opposite the tube side.


I know the way the stock chassis is and is proven to work and not wanting to start a debate.  It just makes for a neater lead dress and shorter runs.  If you are doing a point build it really does not matter if you put components directly on pots and whatnot.


I have used the prepunched chassis and punched 2 myself.  Either way will work, but the 2 that I punched made a much cleaner build.
