ARC/CESSNA CA-295B (200A Navomatic - Wide ) Faceplate installation directions
Before you begin: Check to see if you received the proper faceplate insert. Are the numbers the same as your radio? Does it fit correctly? Although the holes and text will be the same, many faceplate manufacturers made different widths or heights of the same faceplate. (Just to make life a little more interesting)
| 1. | Have this insert installed by an avionics shop if you do not have all the proper tools, are not a qualified technician or are not sure you are capable of doing this job. |
| 2. | Remove the knob. |
| 3. | If your faceplate does not need painting go to #8. Tape up the center glass area to protect it from painting. Do not tape the inside lip area as this has to be painted. Also tape the backside to protect from any paint over spray. |
| 4. |
Fill any dents with a plastic filler or similar material. |
| 5. | Lightly sand with a fine grit sandpaper for good paint adhesion. |
| 6. | Paint the faceplate with a quality paint such as Krylon'sŪ 1613 Semi-Flat Black paint. |
| 7. | Remove the protective tape. |
| 8. | Remove the double face tape backing from the new inserts. |
| 9. | Place the new inserts onto the faceplate. Reinstall the knob onto the radio. |
| 10. | Tell all your aircraft buddies about Aircraft Engravers and place the enclosed sticker on the metal case for future reference. |
