Default Suggestion

To accompany your lever how about a position indicator ring ... ala Andair? The two would make a nice little dress-up kit.

Default Ask and you shall receive

I am ordering material today and will have them sometime this month hopefully. I am looking a a 4" pattern and will have it broken into 4 quadrants with the appropriat lettering. Input on color? The other guy is plain aluminum with red lettering. I was thnking about red anodized with white lettering to match the lever. Need quick input from everyone.

I like the plain aluminum so the handle stands out more.

Having the ring be red would be too much. I'd prefer plain aluminum or light colored anodizing with red or black lettering.

Ditto on the plain aluminum...I like the appearance of the "other guy" very well.

Count me in for a ring and lever if you get it done.

Greetings,

Can you tell me how long the fuel lever is from the center of the hole, to the aft (non pointer) end of the handle?

Thanks,
Rusty

Yea, I'd like it with a light color, Lt. silver or even white. And just to complicate things, how about green for the on positions and red for off. Also I hadn't got back to you, but I received my lever a couple of weeks ago and am very happy, can't wait to install it.

Default Old Style

For those folks that have the old style of mounting on their valves I have a batch being made up. If I am correct you will need the flat on the rear of the lever. I need to get a tally of how many I need and I can arrange for those to be made by about the end of the year. I will talk with the retailers and arrange it through them. Indicator plates will be done soon as well. I have arrived at a nice design on a 4" plate that should look very nice.

Default Website

Well I built a website as I hope that this thing really gets going. In the linkds section I have the direct links to the item at the respective retailers. Input and suggestions are welcome and encouraged. I would like to let everyone know that Classic Aero Designs will soon have the levers in stock as well. Fuel Position Indicator Plates are in the process of being made.
