I am looking for the left panel[0412492] with the radios. Does someone make blanks because my listing says it has radio decals. I'm rearranging my panel for upgrade and would like a blank. It has the curved edges that could be hard to duplicate.
Thanks for any info.

According to Hill Aircraft (http://www.cessnaparts.com/) the PN has been superceded. You'll love the price. Perhaps that's why it's still available. :?

OK, here I go with my own little mantra (with apologies to Eric) - "Salvage yards, Salvage yards, sis-boom-bah".

When it comes to these sort of items, I always check there first. These types of things are rarely still available and if they are, they are priced as George indicated. :roll: OK, they won't be brand new and may require some "touch up" work, but I usually find what I'm after for somewhere in the $50 range. You may have to scrounge a bit, but they are out there.

There are lot's of salvage yards, but my top two are:

Specialty Aircraft - Redmond, OR http://www.specialtyaircraft.com
800-500-6786 - great folks. They'll take digital photos of their stuff and email it to you so you can "shop online".

Wentworth Aircraft - Minneapolis, MN - http://www.wentworthaircraft.com
800-4WENTWORTH

Check TAP - there are a bunch more good ones. I'm slowly aquiring panel parts to restore my '52 panel. You know those bezels that go around the instruments? Last time I checked with Univair they were $122 EACH 8O - I picked up a half dozen from Specialty Aircraft two years ago for $8 each. Quite a difference.
