Mazdatrix www.mazdatrix.com and racing beat www.racingbeat.com sells the porting templates. I haven't seen a porting template that is printable anywhere.

I'd love to see someone scan in some templates so anyone can just download different designs. I'd scan a couple of my own to share if I had a scanner.

Here is one of a bridgeported template. It belonged to someone else on the forum, not me. The size of the picture is for a 8.5" x 11" paper (standard size)

I'm not sure if that pic is exactly to scale or not. I just got it somewhere off the forum. Or maybe someone emailed it to me, I can't remember. Sorry.

Yeah, I should have mentioned that. Be wary of any printed off templates. See if you can find someone with a template in your area and make a copy of it onto a sheet of aluminum or thin steel.

As long as the dowel holes line up exactly you will be okay. There are other areas around the port itself that should line up as well.

I'll scan in my street port templates... but I'm gonna have to borrow my buddy's scanner. It would be nice to have a couple of different porting options.

Very true...you'd better be spot on with the lining up of the template if you're gonna print one. A few mm's and kiss it good bye! It's nice to see some of the different templates though as a reference and to give people some ideas (you're be surprised how many products start from just looking at pictures of what someone else has done).

about being careful to line the printed templates up, the one posted I printed out myself, and it has both dowel holes, so if it printed the right size, then transferred onto sheet ally or steel, and the dowels line up, it should be spot on.
