^^^take 2 markers and tape them together... this gives you equal spacing when you trace around the edge...

i taped a socket to the marker, so i can pick what ever size socket i want. but using a washer is a good idea and i have plenty of large washers laying around from all my other projects. the only about using the washer is that hood have to be laying down. i didn't want to lay the hood down to protect the paint. i worked with the hood standing up the whole time.
