See below pics for my progress so far in making a template using materials available to me (printer not functioning, so this is all analog oldschool design like with rulers, pencil, tracing paper, scissors, glue and whatnot)
I am going to use the template to help me get the new numbers and such aligned relatively even. If it goes well, people won't even notice that the only measuring I did was in drawing out the center cutout circle around a middle dot, and not-really-measuring when I counted grid paper squares. Sometimes "close enough" does work. I hope.
