Default Cutout for Vararam

Is the picture really a template, or is just an example? I plan to install in the morning.

The large black and white xerox is really a template. A word of advice....go to your local pharmacy and pick up some paramedic or trauma scissors. It makes cutting the shroud so much easier!! See my past posts for details on the cutting.

The paper is a template to cut the shroud. I have the LPE intake and a simple box cutter razor blade worked just fine on cutting the shroud.

I have a lot of experience cutting plastic-may I offer some advise? Use a sharp utility knife or razor cutter of some kind. Make several light passes instead of cutting through all at once. It's much easier to control the cut if your not trying to do it all at once. You don't need to cut all the way through either. Just a good score and then bend at the score line and it will snap clean. Try it-you'll like it
