Should be receiving first batch next week sometime. Will scour previous posts and let everyone know where/when/how to send $.

Maybe I should have ordered more than 20 sets.

Put me down for a set too please, Thanks

[Flyboy]

I'm in as well

[ddaniels]

Well, I'd ask for a set, but mine are....ahem....perfect already.

While you are about it, any chance of a set of gauge decals in clear, I have no doubt, the queue would be just as long.

Well, I just received first batch of decals today. The fit is spot on... but the finish is not was i was hoping for. Decals are too darn glossy with the laminate overlay. Will try to source matte finish laminate next, to better match the dull finish on the switch housings.

That said, if anyone still wants a set, I'll be happy to let a set go for $5.50 just to recoup my out-of-pocket. I have 19 sets; the 2-sets per card thing didn't work.

Now, back to the @%&! drawing board.

I'll take two sets. You can PM me the details of paypal and all that.

[chuck hahn]

I dont think they are all that bad really...and if you dyed or repaint the housings before adding the decals they may very well be perfect!!

[Vmass]

They will be just fine for my New Old Switch project.

At $5.50 that decal for the ignition cylinder is worth the price of admission to me. so put me down for a set and let me know where to send the funds.

I'll take a set, how to pay? terrylee

Why not a laser cut stencil what lays on the old switch, followed by some white spray paint? Would be simple and match the original look exactly.

I said I was in, so I am in, paypal and I will get the cash off to you right away.

Ed, you read my mind, the reason I want a set is to use as a stencil to paint the graphics on, as per OEM.
The instrument shop here at the airport does lazer engraving to minute detail, going to give them the decals to use as a template.

Very interesting idea, Ed. Wonder how one would go about securing the negative space within the letters... such as the triangle in the letter "A"? I suppose instead of a typical stencil setup, a reversed out transfer decal could be applied, painted, then removed. Will look into it!
