In article , says...

Can anyone tell me what the material is that the mid 70s Cessnas used
for the interior plastic? We have a couple of cracked pieces we would
like to repair. I also remember reading a good article in one of the
aviation mags that went through the rebuilding of a really bad
instrument panel plastic cover in the last year or so... Anybody
remember which one it was?

Thanks!


You can still get those parts, apparently.
Just a few days ago I saw a 172M (1975?) that came out of the shop, and they
had completely rebuilt the panel. It looked NEW. All of the little plates with
the lettering on them - you know, the 'BCN' engraving that's always worn down
to where you can't even find it any more! I asked the guys about it, and they
said they simply ordered the parts from Cessna.
