I have been trying to find a replacement Stereo Panel for my 95 Z240 Talari. After 2 years of looking with no success I went out and made one. I have attached some pics of the end result.

Nice Job Mike, looks great!

Can you share your costs and things so other members can get an idea what's involved with doing this? It seems to be a very common issue, and one people are always looking to fix!

I'd be interested too!

I used the Drawings from Randy Jobe in the "How To" Forum and took them to a machine shop that I am familiar with. (Costs will vary from Shop to Shop and your location)
They had to recreate them in a version campatible with their software.
I then commited to a minimum order of 10 since they didn't want to set up their equipment for 1 piece not to mention that the cost per piece was more appealing.
I do have the option now for future orders if there is any interest.

Mike,

I tried to find it under the Parts and Collectibles. Still trying to get my site navigational skills down.

At first I thought you had the plastic. I don't really need it now, but I thought I should have a back-up.

The pictures are great and I liked the stenciling to copy the look original look. Question is .. Do you have one already made or would you take orders to have one made up?

Thanks dave

Hi,
I have a 1995 Barchetta 192Z
I too am looking for this stereo Bezel. Would it fit in this model? It looks very similar. If you have one available, I'd be interested in purchasing one too. Let me know. You can email me if you would like

Thanks,

Mike, Do you sell just a template so I could use the pattern to have a machine shop cut one out for me local? Paper or cardboard? I have a 96 Z255 Shabah that your metal one looks exactly like the wood one I need to replace. Thanks

How about the lettering? How did you get it on the new plate?

Hi Mike:
Same boat, same issue for me. You've done a first-class job on the solution. Any chance you have any of the original 10 units for sale? Or alternately, the contact info for the shop who can make another run?
Also, anyone know of a thread for a design of a support system for the radio?
Thanks!

NogginDoc 06-21-2011 12:00 PM

Re: Stere Bezel/Panel
 
Mike, same question as mjhinno. Do you still have any panels left, and are you willing to sell them?

Re: Stere Bezel/Panel
 
guys....this is an old thread that you have resurrected. You might be better off sending a PM to the vendor. I'm not sure that he comes online here much anymore.

mjhinno 06-21-2011 08:10 PM

Re: Stere Bezel/Panel
 
Hi Mikey
I would be happy to contact the vendor, but I have not seen any information here about who that would be. Can you help there?
Thanks in advance.

Just left click on his name (95 z240 Talari) in his last post and you will get an option to send him a message.

Re: Stere Bezel/Panel
 
Thanks Mikey. I suppose I could just read a bit more carefully too. Saw Mikey on the message and made the leap to Mike the original poster. Appreciate your help.
Noggindoc, I have pm'm z240 so if he has any I'll let you know, or perhaps well split up whatever minimum there is from the machine shop.

Edit... Oops, I just did it too. :D Mike's gonna do some good business this week. :yes_grin:

I have replied to the PM's that I recieved. Thanks for the interest. I have had more of the panels made and I do have some available. As far as the Font on the lettering, it matches the Original Font and is part if the "Film". Feel free to call me at 573-275-4518 if interested.

Re: Stere Bezel/Panel
 
Thanks. I'm very interested. What's the best time to call you? Are you around this weekend? I'll probably take 2 of them. "Film" too.
