Refacing old Chevron sign...Help

Here are pics....

Here are some pictures to those of you still willing to help. I want to apologize to all who I was rude to, but I just never have been great at taking and accepting rudeness directed toward me for no reason.

However, here are the pictures. I have two pictures that I took with my phone (not the best quality on an Aria) and one that I drew up to help you guys and gals understand a bit better. Let me know if you would need any further info.

I really do appreciate those willing to help...especially the ones who offer it without insults.

THANKS!

I really hate to say this :banghead::banghead: but :banghead::banghead: Mosh was probably right. Looks like a flex face retrofit would be the simplest solution. If your really intent on a formed face... either Milliken or World Wide Sign Systems would probably do a pretty good job.

Thanks! I'll check them out and see the best road to take...You don't think there would be any way to make a pan face with 1.5" flange work?

Not sure I'm understanding, I think you're wanting a pan without a flange. The flange is the part that goes outward parallel to the face on a normal pan face. Problem would be getting the EXACT measurements, the big sign companies can waste a few pieces of plex until they get their molds set up right and then mass produce these puppies. With a retainer system like that, if you're off a little there's no way to adjust. Definitely go with polycarbonate and not acrylic.

OK, since you actually posted up the pictures and a sketch
so now I understand the problem...
I think you might be able to use a regular pan face with flange.
You'll just have to make retainers

Dualite in Cedar Hill, TX makes replacement Chevron faces for these type cabinets. Maybe they could make you a blank one to fit the existing retainer set up you have. You will need to know if its a C45,C60 or C78 cabinet. Or as others have stated you will have to do some kind of retro fit to install any other type faces.
