One idea would be clear acrylic or transparency material, trace your ports... cut it out then there ya go... you can scribe that onto a piece of metal and cut it out for some nicer templates...
I found some 3/32nd's thick acrylic sheet in perfect housing sizes at a local junk store... they have a huge pile of them.. for like .50cents each.... probably going to pick up a few more to trace my ports when I finish them.
