If you've cut turn-signal openings into a fresh nose skin by hand, you know the problem: aftermarket skins come blank so they fit every year, which leaves you measuring and cutting your good metal and hoping you got it right. These magnetic templates fix the openings for the 1955–1962 Type 2 "bullet" turn signals in the exact factory location, so you scribe and cut with confidence instead of guesswork.

Features

• Precision fit: CNC-cut to seat the "bullet" turn-signal opening where the factory put it on 1955–1962 buses
• Heavy-duty magnets: thick magnetic templates that hold position against the metal while you work — not flimsy stick-ons
• Accurate alignment: seats against the upper corner outer flange and body line for repeatable placement
• Complete set: includes both driver (left) and passenger (right) templates
• Made in-house at Washburn's Metal, Orange, CA

How to use

1. Place: set the magnetic template into the upper corner of the nose skin
2. Scribe: trace the cut opening onto your metal
3. Cut: remove the template and cut to the line
