Anyone out there with a template for converting 1966 Fairlane GT rear quarter panel letter holes to those of a 1967? Each letter is individually held in place. In 1966, they used tiny little holes with snapin keepers. In 1967, the second pin became much larger with a nut to back it.

Unfortunately, to convert, it's not so simple as to drill the holes larger as they moved ever so slightly. I found this hardway as a young man...the letters will barely fit and look all crooked. I'm still driving the same old '66 Fairlane for 2 decades now. It's hard to find actual '66 letters so if anyone can help out, I'd sure appreciate it.
