Is there a pdf or something out there with a scale brace radius template you can print off?

Hi Dr. Matthew,

There isn't, as far as I know, because there doesn't need to be.
You can make your own for no money on your computer.
Download and install a trial copy of Corel Draw, then use it to draw whatever bracing curve template you want.
Then print it. Voila!

If you don't get how to do this, I will willlingly step up and draw one/some for you and then send you the pdf file/s, but I'd need to know what radius/radii you have in mind, and how long and wide you want the template/s. Obviously, I'd prefer to teach you how to fish....

Cheers,
Dave F.
