'I am having new cockpit fuel tank capacity placards made for my PT-26 project. The placard reads "CAPACITY 22 1/2 GALS." and is located behind the LEFT ON/RIGHT ON/BOTH OFF tank selector indicator.  These will be made per the original drawing (67617-1) using an acid-etch ink-fill process.  They are not made using the flat photo-anodized process you often see.  See photos and drawing in the "Cockpit Fuel Tank Capacity Placard" photo folder.
If anyone needs some of these, please let me know.  I would like spread the not cheap artwork/setup costs around a bit.Thanks,Pete Crawford

'Do you have a estimate for the cost?  I realize it will depend on the total number madeJohn
