'35-'37 Instrument Plate

Anyone have a PACKARD dwg of the 35-7 Inst Pl, Radio Delete Pl or Radio Plate.
FOLLOW-UP
Reason for searching for PACKARD Dwg's was to find out what the original surface was. No dwg SOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Pulled the PACKARD CREST off a Radio Blank Out Plate on a well maintained original '35 12. BTW Parts Book calls same part number for '35/6 8-Su-12. Underneath was same surface as the nickle plated perimeter but with a diff. colorcast. Definitely not a paint but a chemically induced color. From what i can piece together whatever they used turns brown with age because at first glance this 2014 surface looks brown but the underside of the Crest reveals this original color. This Champagne C32 /http://www.rosa.pl/resources/image/Aktualnosci/paleta_kolorow_anodowania_ang.jpg is a very close match.
If this isn't controversial enough for you this should drive you over the edge. Believe there was pin strip around the perimeter of this Champagne surface on the Instrument Plate and the Blank Out Plate. WHAT COLOR STRIP ???? Have '34 dwgs for the Blank Out Plate & Inst Plate that call for Dark Gray pin strip around the herringbone pattern of the Su8s so stripping should not be a shock showing up on'35 uphttp://www.tomlaferriere.com/2009CarsForSale/1935PackardV-12/1935PackardV-12FullPhoto%20030.jpghttp://www.rodsnsods.co.uk/forum/stuff-sale/pre-war-1936-packard-dash-gauges-23150http://webmail.q.com/service/home/~/?id=112363&part=2&auth=co&disp=i
If im right about the Blank Out Plate getting stripping i have to wonder if the Radio Plate got anything because of its design leading into this area.
JUST ONE MANS OPINION and IVE BEEN WRONG BEFORE.
