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. |

If your faceplate needs painting, remove it from the radio. Otherwise, go
to #8. |

Tape up the faceplate to protect it from painting any unwanted areas.
These areas include the colored lights & 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. |
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 quality paint such as Krylon's 1613 Semi- Flat
Black Paint. If you want a silver border around the outer rim use a Testors'
silver paint stick. They are found in most hobby stores. |
| 7. |
Remove the protective tape. |
| 8. |
To have the new inserts' text illuminate from the backside, the original
thin text decal has to be removed. Use a very small straight screwdriver to lift
it up from the lock down cam hole area. |
| 9. |
Remove the double-face tape backing from the new insert. |
| 10. |
Place the new inserts onto the faceplate. Re-install faceplate and knobs
on the radio. |

Tell all your aircraft buddies about
Aircraft Engravers and place the enclosed sticker on the metal case
for future reference. |
