328 AC and fan controls switch plates source?

I've been looking for the plates for over a year. At this point, the only option is to have them made. Perhaps a good graphic artist could replicate the images. That would be a start.
There was a post on this subject awhile ago, but it died....

 

Was looking for some new ones myself and was part of the earlier thread. There was some talk about a group buy on some but it didn't go any further than talk.

Maybe someone has to take the lead on this. I'm going to check some sources for a cost to have these reproduced in all of the frame colors.

 

As far as I know they are NLA .... and are about 2x the price of gold if you find them. especially the AC plate.

I made a sticker to put on mine that looks Ok - but not great.

the part is plastic, painted blue under it, then silkscreened black on top, so that when the light is on at night it glows under the blue section.... no idea how you reproduce this part.

 

There was someone 2 years or so ago who wanted to have them replicated but could not generate enough interest at the projected cost so it died there. I committed for multiple sets but the line of interested parties was very short.

 

Contact Verrell at unobtanium, just ordered this 2 days ago.

Ordered this from Toni Banauch last Fall:

Suche nach - ferrariteile.eu

I think it was $60 w/ shipping.

 

I just looked through the Unobtanium catalogue and no frames for the 328. They have them for the 308, 246, 365 and 512 but no 328. Since you have a 308, is that what you ordered?

I also looked at the ferrariteile.eu website. They do not list the yellow one, show a sticker for the blue one and, while they show a photo of the orange ones, they are listed as no longer available.

Back to square one.

I am meeting with a plastic fabricator this Friday that says he can reproduce the part. I'll know more after I meet with him. I don't really need them for my car but I 'm annoyed that they are not available so I may do something about that.

 

This should be 3D-printable (?)

 

No. It's clear with a color screened on the bottom and black on the top with the dial pattern cut out to allow the light to pass through the color portion. You may be able to 3D print the part but you would then have to screen the colors which is the bigger part of the task.

Meeting with the plastics guy on Friday.

 

If you do them I'm in for a set.. mine are getting "used" looking... it seems like a simple part but must be costly or someone would be making them!
