Default DG-300 instrument panel

Loop this process until you run out of patience or have the exact layout you
like. Then, use the final template and the router to cut the actual panel
out of your material of choice.

If this strikes you as way too much work, use a PC CAD program to lay out
the panel and e-mail a .DXF file to a laser cutting shop who will cut the
new panel for you. Some will even cut plexi test panels for you to play
with. Hint: to get the panel outline right, trace the old panel on a large
sheet of graph paper and then transfer the grid points to the CAD program.


You take a look at try http://emachineshop.com/, which provides an easy
to use CAD program that will provide immediate quotes from the drawing
you make. A large choice of materials and finishes is available,
including fiberglass sheet.
