Default side skirt drilling jig

i have a base ti with no side skirts. i picked some up from a member on here last summer, and have yet to put them on. apparently at some time there was a drilling jig available according to real oem. i was wondering if anyone would have a set i could borrow. i would gladly put down a deposit, and pay for the use of them.

if anyone knows an alternative method, please let me know!

thanks,
john

I was going to go out and measure my holes since my sideskirts are off the car, but then I found this:

Another way I've heard it been done with good results is to put a sort of marking compound like a grease or chalk on the side skirt clips where you need the holes drilled and place it up against the rocker panel. It should leave marks for where you need to drill pretty accurately. A while back I recall someone, I think on bf.c, scanning in the actual template and providing a JPEG or PDF that could be printed on a plotter. It might turn up on there with a little searching, hopefully.
