You can still get those parts, apparently.
Just a few days ago I saw a 172M (1975?) that came out of the shop, and they
had completely rebuilt the panel. It looked NEW. All of the little plates with
the lettering on them - you know, the 'BCN' engraving that's always worn down
to where you can't even find it any more! I asked the guys about it, and they
said they simply ordered the parts from Cessna.


Awful prices for that stuff from Cessna. Try this:

They make them a bit thicker so they don't bust so easily, and
they cost much less.
