ARC/CESSNA CC-317A Faceplate installation

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. If your faceplate needs painting, remove it from the radio. Otherwise, go to #9.
3. Tape up the faceplate to protect it from painting any unwanted areas. These areas include the colored light, knob & window areas. 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. For tan faceplate owners, you may want to keep the area by the four windows tan. To remove the clips on the back of the numbered disk is EXTREMELY difficult & the plastic pieces are expensive to buy if any are broken.
5. Fill any dents with a plastic filler or similar material.
6. Lightly sand with a fine grit sandpaper for good paint adhesion.
7. Paint the faceplate with a quality paint such as Krylon's 1613 Semi-Flat Black paint.
7a. If you want a silver border around the outer rim use a Testors' silver paint stick. They are found in most hobby stores.
8. Remove the protective tape.
9. Move the old insert by prying with a small screwdriver. This allows the light to show through
10. Remove the double face tape backing from the new inserts.
11. Place the new inserts onto the faceplate. Reinstall faceplate and knobs onto the radio.
12. Tell all your aircraft buddies about Aircraft Engravers and place the enclosed sticker on the metal case for future reference.
