I was restoring my battery box and had a five of these battery decals made up, I used AutoCAD and I think it is very close to the original battery placard found on most of the older 150s.

If anyone wants one of these just let me know and I can mail them out to you for free

If I run out, I can reorder these and get more printed up; they will only cost me about $2.00 each to print up another. 6.

Great timing, as I'm starting to put my 150L back together as each piece gets painted. I could use a battery box decal.... and a nose strut decal as well. I didn't realize how expensive they would be as I removed them for painting. Would be happy to pay, as it'd still be way cheaper than Cessna prices!

Kendel, I still have a couple battery box decals remaining and I will mail you out one (free) once I get your mailing address which you can email to me at Info@havelin-pe.com. I believe Cessna charges around $40 for the original battery decal but that is crazy. We can always order more of these decals from the company I sent the artwork over to, if needed and it was only $15.00 to get 6 made up.

I will work on preparing the artwork to reproduce the strut decal in AutoCAD and try to generate a really good quality JPG file to upload to the sticker site. I would need the actual dimensions to get a correct decal reproduced, but I will rough it out.

If you're looking for more CAD projects that'd be helpful, it'd be great if you'd do up the set of pieces for engine baffling. I made up some MDF templates to be able to cut the pieces on a router table, but it'd sure be nicer to have a file for SendCutSend or someplace local to cut the pieces. I've been intending to put the pieces into FreeCAD, but it never seems to be enough of a priority for me to sit down and learn the software. I'd be happy to trace my templates and send them to you, if you'd be interesting in making a file that the community can use and you have the ability to do so.

Same offer to anybody else who'd be willing to make us a CAD file.

Kendel,

Some time ago I made a (DXF) Cad file for a spiral stair, and they uploaded in into a CNC machine and punched out the 11 treads and a landing. It came out perfect. So yeah, I could draw up anything you have, and the club could utilize it.
