Basically follow the dimensions in fig4

Two diameters at 90 deg. then a series of concentric circles and finally step off from the intersection of the diameters and the circles in 3 mm steps. Centre punch and drill.

Frankly I wouldn’t get too fussy about it, apart from the 4mm holes for mounting purposes the rest are just for ventilation. You could cut slots if that’s easier.
