I installed one, but didn't have a template. I had a truck innertube under the pod, and had this under the airplane. Inflated the tube with shop air to place the pod where I wanted it, and transferred the hole to the belly. I used the illustrated parts catalog for the hardware, the extended rods for the front cowl flaps, and the front engine exhaust pipes. You will need the extended pipes to direct the exhaust gasses from the pod so that it doens't get cooked, and the rods to have the cowl flaps accomodate the tail pipes.
