Yeah, that is a first. I usually use a plexiglass template in a holder that goes in the same spot. Making the templates accurately has proven difficult (without slicing the original plug in half). I tied the copier trick but it didn't work for me, and tracing the original is always off by the thickness/angle of the pencil. Then cutting and smoothing the plexiglass leads to inaccuracies.
