Well I'm back onto my switch panel after receiving my switch finger plates back from my local friendly engineer who milled them to size for me.
I borrowed Dave's idea of printing a paper version in negative.....which took some mucking around with my scanner to get to actual size. Then jig sawed the openings for the switches and a down light cutter for the gauges. I'm waiting for some brass BA screws and nuts to arrive before I can continue. But very pleased so far. I'm using a piece of black Bakelite for the panel. Ron

Next faze was to put the cut outs in the bottom of the cabinet where the cables pass through, rivet the hinges on in readiness for the doors (yet to make) and weld on the brackets that hold the panel (which I've now fitted up some more with my new BA screws). I also drilled and tapped the panel brackets for 2BA screws as not knowing what they where originally, I just did it with a size that I have in stock. I'm in need of some period looking cable if anyone has some they'd like to sell. Ron

Ron, those two screws about the middle of the sides are to hold the panel in place and they're about 3/8". The four screws below the bottom gauge are to hold the capacitors in place.
Looking good.

3/8"? Blimey those are some big screws! Or is it just the heads that are large?
I've noted that I need extra holes under the bottom gauge, but can only see two?.......Plus the further eight for the cable clamps. Ron

They likely used 3/8" so there would be more contact area on the plastic panel. Under the gauge the top two are about 2" apart and the bottom two are about 1" apart. In the picture the bottom two are right close to the latch.
