Vintage tuner templates?
Does anyone know if templates exist which to assist in accurately drilling pilot holes for the mounting screws?

If "tremoloman" dosn't want them, I'd be more than willing to take them off your hands.
I've got a Tele, just crying for a set of vintage tuners to make her complete.
As far as a template, not needed!
Install your bushings, set tuners in place and use a straight edge to line them up, mark and drill. Then use the straight edge again to assist in alignment for mounting the tuners. Some people use a small clamp to hold the straight edge in place.
Don't forget soap for the screw threads, you'll run less of a risk of breaking the screws and, if needed, a little tape on the drill bit so as not to go too deep.
I usually just make starter holes for the screws and I always use the soap on screws as it lubes the screw, making for less work and tighter fit.
