Need help!!!

[05Zsvntyfun]

I bought this beautiful switch panel. I'm going to be putting in 4 rocker switches. I need help with a way to create a template for cutting the holes out. What would be the best way to do it? The first photo is the empty switch panel laying on my screen so you can get the full understanding of how it looks

Get some blue painters tape, cut to shape of bracket, put ur switches in on the painters tape, then transfer everything to a piece of cardboard and cut that out, then transfer to real bracket and cut.....sounds good in my head

Use the cardboard that comes on the back of a legal pad, trace your whole plate to the cardboard. Then pencil in the rocker locations. That way you can get it to look exactly like you want. Then cut the cardboard and install that to see the final look before cutting on your real panel.

Measure the center of the panel into the cardboard, then you can figure out spacing so everything stays uniform

All good points here. Template and dry fit til you are satisfied. Maybe even spray paint the template for a more realistic look, before and/or after cutting out your switches. Then move ahead to the final cut outs.

Measure twice, cut once...in a perfect world...lol
Look forward to pics.
