I'm baaaack! My nameplates are indeed 21 3/16" long by 2" high. Based upon Ken's warning, you should measure your nameplates very carefully before ordering. Mine are in a small recess (perhaps 1/4" deep), so a nameplate that is even a little bit too big won't fit at all.
I also noticed that the original nameplates are not made of black acrylic, but the same materials that the windows are made of. That is to say, they are made of 1/4" gray tinted Plexiglas. It is likely they made the nameplates from scrap materials from the windows. Gary ~~~~~~~_/)~~~~~~ On Wed, Jan 13, 2016 at 11:49 AM, Gary Russell <captnga...@gmail.com> wrote: > Ken, > Hmmm!
