      I was thinking the end caps from Grumman Parts need to be glued together.. Same with the speaker cover. I did notice that. 100 is a little high for just the bow portion.

      Gary’s page is awesome! I need one of those overlays. I would like the alternate parking break as well.

      All the progress looks great. Did you use similar ABS material for your panel overlay? The uAvionics gear looks great. I was just shopping for ABS sheets just earlier this week. Thank you for the ideas. I am sure you heard that Grumman Parts is offering some of the plastics we need. They have prices on only one item though.

      I just sent an email listed in the original post. This looks like a great alternative to looking for an original w/ clips.

      Thank you.

      What material did you use to cover the deck in both cases. I like the gray on the left.

      Where are you keeping this bird that people keep crashing into it?

      Tim, the interior looks great! Thanks for sharing. On a side note, is your beige panel an overlay, and where did you get the decals scripted for it ( I would like closer pics)? Thanks in advance. ~J~

      Richard, you are a great help. I can’t wait to share my progress with the group.

      Thank you, so much!

      Very cool, thank you. Are these still available (placards)? Also, my panel needs to be redone. The panel has been converted to toggle switches for all the electrics such as: Fuel pump, landing light, NAV, strobe, etc. I would like to do the same in this area complete with switch guards. As you can see, I have my work cut out for me.

      Back to my original question, does anyone know where we can source the original manufacturing prints to cut new panel material?

      I love the toggle switch guards on the left side next to the master (part numbers, please).

      Richard and or Roscoe, I want to make a panel overlay in gray for my AA1-A. Does anyone know where the blueprints can be fount for the instrument panel itself? The reason I ask is I want to scribe the panel overlay in my AutoCAD and sent it out to be cut.
      Richard, the black material you have looks nice. Did you have the information to locate all the holes, or did you scribe it in out of raw material. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      Thank you.

      The owner of my club aircraft, N-6088L (AA5 Traveler) is going to have one installed in about February. I will report how it goes if you haven’t found out.

      I bought an aft console for an AA5 last year from Fletchair. They might have the forward part too. It’s worth a call.

      The previous owner let the registration laps last year. Also, we found a lean on the title that goes back to 1984. Got it all cleared up. It should be in my name this month.
