On my 79 FC33, there is a backlit strip on the dash, has the labels for all the switches. It is getting pretty fragile, a little worse each time I go into the dash. Mine is still good for the time being, but looking ahead...
Anyone replaced it, any fabrication sources? Thanks

A friend worked at a marina where they made that sort of thing for boats, labeling equipment and so on.

Not being very knowledgeable on this subject but, the photo looks like something our graphic arts department used to do and it was done with a camera. The material was actually a film.

it is a special plastic designed for backlighting, yellowish translucent back rather than white opaque, engraved like a name badge. Mine has a strip of blue clear plastic on the back, that may be a later addition for strengthening or to tone down glare.
The whole assembly seems a little "homemade" underneath. The channel that holds the light bulbs is a section of embossed aluminum roof panel. It is a perfect match for my barn roof incidentally. The bulb sockets are just crimped to the channel. But... still going strong 34 years later.

And here I thought somebody had butchered my dash! Mine is the same way but the strip has just about had it! Sorry, no solution yet, but I will post if I find anything.

Since some of those lights were out, I replaced the whole row with a single LED strip. Works great, and shines through nicely though you may have to play around a bit aligning the LED strip for best effect....
