I made my own Shelby drop template tonight. After rechecking the "new" holes on the template, one is .020" off from the other one. Basically one hole is slightly lower than the other hole. That isn't a lot, do you think that would be a problem or should I make a new template?
(Sorry, but for those of you who haven't figured it out yet I am anal retentive!)

You're lucky to get anything under .2" variation in these old uni-pretzels, let alone .020".

no big deal

Even stock there's more than .02 slop in the hole to stud clearance. You won't have any problems.
