Whoa......... New invention out these days, called a printer.... of the parts fiche file.
:whistle: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
All I did was record what bolts & sizes/threads went where. I also used this when comparing SS bolt kit listings insuring I had everything I needed... Not really a big deal... Card board pattern idea works great no doubt. Same time, this worked for me...
Besides, both of my basket case KZ's had a mix matched set of screws/bolts holding them together so came in handy...
As for the Sunlight on the gauges... I've been running the Acewell Speedo/tach for the last couple years now, no issues for the characters/numbers are in black. The volt meter is analog, again no issues. Unknown about the AF/R gauge but not worried about it for this will mostly be beneficial during tune ups/jetting/emissions and occasional glances during rides for where she's burning...
It's all good...
OMR,
You might want to consider adding the dimensions to the drawing on your computer. I bet you could sell copies of it on eBay to folks who have torn their engines down without recording anything on paper or on cardboard and to folks whose kids have pulled the bolts out of their cardboard templates.

Looks like you are running a little rich there. Better swap out those pilots.
The gauges look killer when they are lit up at night.
