Just cut it out and double check it against the trans. If it is the wrong size then unclick the "scale to fit box" that is on the print window.

i tried it and it didnt fit. btw your pdf says 1:0.9 im not scaling it when i print it out.
I know it has that scale. If you are not scaling it, then scale it and it will fit (just click the print to fit). The reason the scale is 1:.94 is because the default for most printers is print to fit. So it fits an 8.5" x 11" into a margin'ed area.
I know many have used it with fine results.

buy one
^^ Very constructive thing to put in a thread about making your own, we should all make such intelligent and usefull posts.
You don't need to buy one. Many of these have been done with just hand tools. If you are scared to try it then buy one (not saying anyone who buys one is scared, but he obviously wants to make his own). I have never even made one myself. I had one cut for me but never the less it is a nice thing to have available for the many people that have used it.

I built mine using only a jigsaw and a dremel...so yes, it's greatly possible and you can get great results from it:

some peoples time is obviously more valuable than others. I started to make one and decided that 20 shipped for one was a far better deal than me spending my time making one.
Despite the fact that this is a thread COMPLETELY about people making their own.........
Making one even with a hand tools probably won't take longer then a couple hours if using aluminum (quite a bit longer if using steel). I would rather invest the two hours and have it immediately rather then wait (atleast) two days. That is all without taking into the account the fact that you can customize it to your needs immediately with no extra time investment and it also doesn't even take into account how much pride some people take in doing it themselves.
Anyway you look at it was a completely pointless/worthless post.

well I found some metal snips in my garage went over to the hardware store to get some metal and made one today in about 20 min. It's not a very clean job but it worked;-)

IMO personally, I would rather spend a bit of time and make parts that I CAN make just so that I can say that I did the work. It's so much more rewarding to say that you made something yourself....and then even more so when you could say you also designed it.
Many people could care less about what things look like as long as they do the job. In my case form doesn't just follow function....they are conjoined twins. I am an anal retentive SOB though, so that may be a skewed perspective. :lol:
