Holes need to be the same size.

Stick the internal points into one hole and measure across, then zero the calliper.
Now measure from the outside of one hole to the outside of the other with the infernal points and you have the centre distance.

Similar technique works on center distance of two posts, bolts, etc.
measure outside from post to post, zero...measure one of the posts...the reading will be negative, but ill be the center distance.

Hmmm...funny how the mind works, or doesn't in this case...but the technique is actually the exact same for two posts as it is for two holes...is just that I've always used the two different ways. oh well, as they say, a mind is a terrible thing...hehehe.
