Instrument panels

Post by Avee8or »

I am updating the instruments in my 53 B...does anyone have a cad file for the floating panel, and suggestions for someone to machine one? I am in Ocala FL. Many thanks!

I sent a panel file for a quote to Sendcutsend.com - they do waterjet and laser cutting among other things. Price, shipped, for a 170 sized panel (different project) with the instrument holes, hardware holes, etc cut out of .125 2024 aluminum was under $100.

I have no prior experience with this company.
I ordered some parts for brake pedals - .031 steel parts waterjet cut - I ordered 6 pcs early last week and they show up later today.

Ordering was easy. I'll report back on quality.
$36 shipped.
