- a template having a first face on one side thereof;
- a second face on a side opposite said first face;
- a center hole located in the center of said mounting template;
- indicia formed on the first face of said template said indicia provides a location of an exterior point for mounting of a first object on said mounting surface, said indicia providing a means for guiding the user in locating a mounting point,
- said indicia has a predetermined degree graduations of measurements of time about a circumference of said mounting template, a layout of predetermined degree graduations for a set of vertical lines, and indicators,
- said set of vertical lines and said indicators provide means for measuring a mounting point relative to said center hole located in the center of said mounting template.
