Ive been trying to track down this part to no avail. I've decided to just fabricate the part myself since its just a bent piece of metal with a decal. I can't seem to find any close/ detail shots of the part. Would anyone with a Fish Tales be willing to snap a few photos of this from a few different angels? Thanks !

These are perfect. I can figure out the scale using nearby parts. Now to get working. Thank you so much !

Redrew the lure and scaled everything to the correct ( pretty close) dimensions. I was lucky the old switch covers base was still attached to the switch. I guess at some point it broke on the previous owner and he had to use the broken base ( its threaded) to be able to attach the switch to the habitrail. Made things easier to scale since I could reference that broken part.

The first piece is the laminated decal I printed. Piece 2 is the template I'll use to cut and bend the metal (drawn in AutoCAD). And the last piece is what the part will look like when bent. Ill post a picture once the switch is installed Thanks again !

Wow, you got to work on that pretty fast. Looking forward to seeing finished product

Here's the finished cover. I'll probably hit it with a few coats of clear to keep the metal from rusting before I attach the decal. Other than that its done !
