Looks good. I like the all the wood bezel frame that you made to hold the panel in place. It always amazes me just how many different instrument panels were used by Catalina over the years & models. You would think that they would all be the same. Catalina sure kept Seaward busy making all of those variations.
Looks great.
I replaced mine about a month ago. Reused the same controls, but replaced the cracked and faded faceplate. While I had it out, I managed to free the frozen kill cable. It is nice to be able to shut off the engine from the cockpit again.
Old One.
Doing the swap.

I can't seem to see the photos you posted. I used simple green and then tried to glue the cracked portion around the key to keep the old face plate together. It's ok but not perfect like I would want. I just can't afford a new one right now. Not in the budget.
