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 by
taking out the 4 attachment screws on the side of the faceplate. The
knobs can be removed by using an Allen
or Bristle spline wrench which can be purchased at Aircraft
Engravers. |
| 3. |
Place tape over the two rectangular windows to protect them from
the spray paint ( front and back sides). Just as long as the tape
stays within the recessed area you don't have to be exact. The new
insert will cover any paint over spray. |
| 4. |
Paint the faceplate with a quality
paint such as Krylon's® 1613 Semi-Flat Black paint.
If you want a silver border around the outer rim use a Testor's®
silver paint stick. They are found in most hobby stores. |
| 5. |
When the paint is dry remove the tape and the old text decal. Try
using a small screwdriver to start lifting it off. Removing the old
decal will let the light through to illuminate the text if your unit
has the installed light bulbs (most will not have them). |
| 6. |
Remove the protective tape. |
| 7. |
Remove the double-faced tape backing on the new insert. |
| 8. |
Place new insert on faceplate. |
| 9. |
Re-install faceplate and knobs on the radio. |
| 10. |
Tell all your aircraft buddies about Aircraft Engravers and place
the enclosed sticker on the metal case for future reference.
