RV-7 Panels

This was a custom job that we recently completed and which utilised something of a new technique for the specifically requested green backlighting. 

The original files for these three panels were actually supplied to us in DXF format, which reduces the amount of design time needed to make them a reality (a saving that's passed on to our customer). 

Having the DXF files supplied to us also reduces any chance of misinterpretation with regards to various measurements when translating from imperial to metric or vice versa. We supply previews prior to beginning any machining of course, and we also offer suggestions as to text placement and sizing if any potential issues are found.

You might notice that there aren't actually any rebates on the rear of these panels. This is because most of the hardware will fit through the panel from behind and will be secured in place via a screw nut. The square holes, however, will have AML21 Series pushbuttons fitted in from the front and locked in position by a tab.
