Here's the template. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | tim...to make it work don't you have to "mirror" it for "the other side"? I've stuck this template up to my panel and while I "know" where it goes I'm just not that darn sure...am I making sense? ...or is it I just hate to put a punch mark in the new paint  | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | Alvin, Here is a drawing with the template in place. Yes, you would turn the template over when marking the other side. I understand the fear associated with drilling these holes. Mark the holes with chalk and then place the lamps holders over the holes (to assure yourself that the location is correct).

That makes it easy and also calms my nerves....just a little. I printed it out so I won't loose it! I'll have to make a pad out of some material.
** I bought a set of the Chrome bullet lights from the guy in Oregon. Didn't you buy a set?? or was it Weeds or Gmoniz. You know, half price of what most vendors want...and they are good. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2003 Posts: 1,132 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2003 Posts: 1,132 | Sully and Alvin, I was lucky enough to find a pair of original bullets at a swap meet here in Wisconsin. I used Tim's template to drill the holes and they fit perfectly. I can't vouch for the stud location on the reproductions but I would check if there are any differences between the stud locations on the template and the repro before i did any drilling.
