Default WTB Placard

Looking for a source for placard's. I have seen small, round, placards that fit in the push button end of the vernier control cables i.e.: Mixture, pull lean, prop. push high RPM , Throttle, push to open.

Some are here, but not all of the ones you mentioned. You might call Spruce to see if they have the others. Seems pretty obvious that the ones you mentioned should exist...

Default just did that!

too funny, that was one of my summer projects.



I have a pdf I can e-mail to you if you like....send me a PM with your info.
you will still have to scale them a bit to fit your particular controls.
I have 2 versions...one has the centre text with the 'control' 'CARB HEAT - pull hot' the other has the action 'PULL - carb heat' kind of idea.

get a few sets printed, I have a feeling they will not stick forever or survive a lot of handling.

will try to put on photobucket so you can preview them....but apparently it's not workin'!
thx

Dick, I was able to retreive the printed labels for the engine and prop control knobs from my trash. I still have a lot of usable sets of the three. If you are interested I can send you some and will post a photo here soon. PM me.
