I have done six sets of these and Pete is aware that he should include some kind of directions.The best way i found is to use your old woodgrain plate as a guide for the bend.I use quick set epoxy and some some hobby clamps.Make a starting bend in the new panel using a peice of pvc pipe,1.5in.dont make the entier bend just slightly bend it.glue the backing plate to the new face plate and make sure you line it up on the left hand side.You need to get the tabs back straight.Apply epoxy to the plastic housing and start from the left side,insert the first tabs and twist or bend them,work your way towards the bend and insert the tabs and secure them as you go.After you have two or three sets of tabs secured you should be able to finish the curve using the pvc.It will still take some pressure to keep it down.That is what the hobby clamps are for.Bend or twist all the tabs,you will notice that the tabs all the way to the right[3] will over lap the plastic a little,this is no big deal,once you have it clamped down turn it over and apply a little epoxy to the tabs.Let it set over night.On the switch panel you need to make the entire bend as best as you can and follow the same procedure.Anyone who say my black Chally in PA. will tell you how good these turn out.HOPE THIS HELPS
