canamex Posted September 14, 2023 Report Posted September 14, 2023 Hey all, decided to spruce up the interior of my '67 F and one thing I'm having trouble sourcing is the cardboard central yoke cover which would have originally framed the 8DAY clock. I'm servicing the AstroTech LC-2 by replacing the LCD, mostly for the fun of it, but the cardboard cover is torn at the bottom right. While I could probably fabricate something, wondering if they're still sold?
canamex Posted September 14, 2023 Author Report Posted September 14, 2023 Sheet metal honestly would be easier to fabricate. The piece which is on there looks machine made, so I'm curious if it was something which was sold for a time. I guess it's off to the laser cutters I go!
Robert Hicks Posted September 14, 2023 Report Posted September 14, 2023 I’ve got several covers I had laser cut to replace mine. Shoot me a pm. 2

Get some 0.090" aluminum and any combination of a drill press, Dremel tool, and hand files and make the part. It is not that difficult. John Breda 2
