switch id at helm station

[saltshaker28]

I am looking to replace the plastic ID plackerts behind the switches at the helm on my 28 TE does anyone know where I could get these switch signs ? mine are brittle and chipping by the screws that hold them on

Can you post a picture?

[saltshaker28]

I can try but any way it is the plastic behind the switches that reads horn trim tabs ect

I think Rob's looking for a picture because many of our helms are "unique". So you may well have something different from another 28.

With a picture we can steer you in the right direction.

I will see if I can get one posted

Here are the pictures of the switch id's on my helm station

I believe the words are back-lit when the switch is powered on? That complicates things as a simple black decal with white lettering would do away with the backlight feature... Before I ripped out my dash and switch panel I had the switch panel that was simply an aluminum plate with decals. Maybe others with that same panel you have will chime in with some experience on what works.

I don't think this is an easy fix

The panel in our 28, that looked similar to yours, had a manufacturer's sticker on the back. I thought they were in Rhode Island but I just can't recall their name. Have you taken a good look at the back side of the panel? Albin had a tendency to use different sources, which is probably why my 35 has panels from two completely different manufacturers.

I'll keep looking for you, I may have it written down somewhere.

I will take a good look today on the back of the panelthanks Dougsea
