Brief Description:  Adding Front Grip Label To Instrument Panel

Since the silk screen of the stick grip on the right hand instrument panel mount didn't get put in the right location, I opted to just have a label made instead. This worked out great, actually, as the label looks 10 times better than the silk screening, and its texture and coloring matches the label on the instrument panel.

I made straight cuts on the left and right sides based on the orientation marks I had put on the CAD drawing. I then used the extra right hand instrument panel mount I had along with the extra instrument panel, and was able to exactly mark the curve along the right side. Its kind of hard to explain and I wished that I had taken a picture of the process. But, suffice to say it came out perfect and fit up exactly right and totally matches the instrument panel.

Very sweet!
