KING KT76 (Style 1) faceplate insert installation directions

Before you begin: Check to see if you received the proper faceplate insert. Are the numbers the same as your radio? Does it fit correctly? Although the holes and text will be the same, many faceplate manufacturers made different widths or heights of the same faceplate. (Just to make life a little more interesting)


  1. This faceplate insert is NOT PMA’d and CAN NOT be installed in US Certified aircraft unless the proper FAA paperwork is completed. The FAA is very strict on using non-PMA’d parts in certified aircraft. Contact your local avionics shop or AP for these requirements.
  2. Have this insert installed by an FAA certified avionics shop if the unit is to be installed in a US Certified aircraft. If you do not have all the proper tools, are not a qualified technician or your not sure you are capable of doing this job, seek expert advise.  
  3. If your faceplate needs painting, remove it from the radio. Otherwise, go to #9.
  4. Tape up the faceplate to protect it from painting any unwanted areas. These areas include the colored light, knob (unless you want to repaint them too) & window areas. Also tape the backside to protect from any paint over spray.
  5. Fill any dents with a plastic auto body or a model builders filler.
  6. Lightly sand with a fine grit sandpaper for good paint adhesion.
  7. Paint the faceplate with a quality paint such as Krylon's® 1613 Semi-Flat Black paint.
  8. Remove the protective tape and paper.
  9. Remove the old text decal with a small screwdriver and/or hobby knife. DO NOT remove the knob, it is not meant to be removed.
  10. Remove the double face tape backing from the new inserts.
  11. Place the new inserts onto the faceplate.
  12. Tell all your aircraft buddies about Aircraft Engravers.
