Hell yea....and you too. The panel on the animal will look much different. Net n "voorbeeld". Kan jy nie lees nie? Of sit vir ons n paar fhodies van JOU panels in wat jy gemaak het.

Did some searching on the net, and here are some links about old instruments.

Old Cub Instruments had white faces and black lettering, but I suspect they may be hard to read when bouncing in turbulence.

White lettering on black background is easier to see.(To me at least)

I tried to find a link for the bezels, this is the front ring that holds the glass in place.

Some time ago I saw instruments that had the bezel brass coated or brass colour painted .

These were modern instruments and they looked good in a wooden instrument panel.

They looked quite oldy worldly but I can't find the link again. Sorry.

Anyway have fun making your decisions.

Kind regards,

Gunter Rostek.

Ek het verstaan wat ek lees, die voorbeeld is "Fugly"

Ek is baie seker as ons n borg kan kry vir die "classic look" VDO instrumente sal dit nogal mooi LYK. Wat my aanbetref moet die instrumente lig, leesbaar en funksioneel wees. Die gewone swart en wit VDO instrumente se voorste ring is brass. Ek vee net die swart verf af, en dan buff ek die ringetjies. Ek het dit al in die verlede gedoen. Die classics is hopeloos te duur.

Spoke to George this morning. Will only be here sometime tomorrow. Was supposed to sleep here tonight. Just goes to prove: "If you have time to spare, go by air!" He said somthing this morning about his flight being 7 hrs late. Maybe dey had to look for one of the engines in the grass alongside the runways?? :D

Checkout Control Instruments http://www.control-instruments.com

They are the official VDO distributor in SA, Maybe you can get them at a better price. I bought my fuel pressure sensor for the 912 from them for R350. The official rotax price was much much more. When I removed the sensor it has the VDO label and part number on it.

Yip,

Escourted EAZ to her new home at Morning Star on Saturday morning. Almost 10 hours on EPH now. Would have put in a few hours today but had a wedding to attend to in Franshoek. Tommorow up to the big smoke for an interview. The rest of the week looking pretty good for a 6am takeoff and 2 hour flight.

[Boet]

Suppose Paul is very chuffed with EAZ?? Help me with his tel no please.
