Replacing Clear Engine Control Panel

Post by Dan Corcoran »

Anyone have good sourse to purchase a new engine pane cover, either ready to go, or by my own design?

My key location moved a bit, need to relocate the cutout. also broke that piece that covers that cutout.

Dan,

I replaced mine by buying a sheet of Lexan, then traced the old one and used a scroll saw to cut it out. Cosmetically if you mask a border along the inside edge you can paint it black (I used a spray can of Krylon). You can then glue a rubber or foam strip to it to seal the inside edge, and the paint hides the glue. Here is a picture of the finished panel mounted.
