Per the above I have got some new ones !

Anyone know how to fit them - is it a case of just unpeeling old ones and sticking on new ones OR is it harder than that!

Probably worth putting it in the "equivalent parts" thread.

It was a sticky but it's here now

Wasn't there some bloke who was going to make some buttons out of engraved aluminium?

I replaced all the worn stickers on my Cerb soon after i bought it.
Each button has a little plastic ring that covers the edge of the stickers. If you push back the leather a little, you can use a small bladed screwdriver to lever the little ring forward. Once it is off then the old stickers are easy to remove. I managed to get mine off with my fingernail. Apply the new one and push the ring back in place..... simple job.

Could you do me a favour. Before you sticky, unsticky them could you scan them for me at a 1:1 ratio and email me with them.

Do that and if I manage to make a set of aluminium ones I'll post you a set.

I will do ! If I can get my scanner working.
They are only 1.37 each plus 24 p vat. So not a huge investment.

I hate the buttons - I always seem to flash my lights instead of sounding the horn. And if your turning a corner and want to sound your horn you havent got a clue where the button is!

I'll draw the little buggers up in a vector based package if you like Julian.

I would be more interested in some illuminated ones, we did work out how to do it, i.e. getting the buttons output on a piece of film, but nothing came of it.

Strangely I happen to have an engraving machine from www.compucutters.com being made for me at the moment, so when that arrives I'll be learning mach3.

Not sure what the vector input system of choice is. I think its an hpgl format. Although I quite fancy getting mach3.

Making small button like aluminium engravings should then be a piece of cake.

Tried for 2 hrs to get my scanner working !!! I give up !!! Downloaded XP drivers etc etc but it cant find the damn thing (although XP can). So it is going into the bin (/ebay)!

I just did mine , I levered and pulled the whole switch unit out about 1/2 an inch using a small screwdriver. I then used the screwdriver to pop the plastic ring off. I didnt take the old sticker off, I simply put the new one on top, pushed the ring and the unit back in place.

Crikey, that seems like a lot of work when you can just stick them on top of the old ones, takes about 60 seconds from start to finish.
