Thanks for the detailed approach, Martin. I use AutoCAD once every
couple of years, and it's not an easy program to use in such an
intermittent mode (especially when you're self taught).

I know the problem well (and not just with CAD packages).

The problem right now is your 4th step 'make a photo of the panel'. The
glider is not accessible, and I don't have a new blank panel available.
Thus I'm stuck for a few months, if I can't locate a R14 dwg of the
panel outline.

I didn't realise that - sorry.

Maybe somebody with an LS8 that's not put away for the northern winter
could be prevailed on to apply masking tape, measure, photograph and peel
off the tape? It seems to me its the sort of job that takes almost more
time to describe than do.
