Abstract
An indexing apparatus aligns cutouts to be formed in a panel with objects which are located on a structure. The indexing apparatus includes a holder having first and second guides. The first and second guides each have a front and rear face and include an elongate slot which slidably engages a spacer having a length. The slot on the first guide holds the length of the spacer normal to the length of the spacer in the slot on the second guide. A tapered portion located on the first and second guides adjacent the slot frictionally engage the spacer as the spacer slides through the slot to hold the spacer in a plurality of selected positions relative to the holder.
