AC Ball housing cut out to use as template to cut dash

I am putting AC in my truck when it goes back together, so I cut the vent holes in the dash. The center vent is relatively easy, but the side ones are tricky. I got a template from a member, which helped, but I was concerned about cutting the hole wrong. I decided to sacrifice a pair of vent ball housings for the job. I cut them so they lay flush against the dash, and then traced the outline of the holes on the inside. It worked pretty well, but I had to do some trimming and fitting.

I am done with these, but I think someone here could use them to do theirs.

$20 shipped, CONUS. First "I'll take it" gets them.

PayPal sent thanks. Was just thinking of finding some to use as templates. Have a few vintage air installs coming up that want to install factory vents.
