Measurements and Auto-CAD files
In order to help you to produce your own panel, SimKits provides you with measurements and example drawings made in AutoCad.
If you like the drawing, you can use it to order a metal cutout panel from a local metal supplier. Look for companies who have a laser cutting facility or water jet cutting facility.
If you find a company who is able to produce such products for you in your neighbourhood, using autocad files, please send us the address and telephone number, to share this information with other SimKits builders.
If you have designed your own panel drawing in Autocad, please send us your DXF, DWG or even CorelDraw CDR files, to be shared with your fellow cockpit builders!
