I would be inclined not to get the fiche cut- kinda a one way street. I wonder if it is possible to get fiche duplicated and if possible what the cost would be? The you ould cut up the copies and keep the original intact?/

Interestingly, my Porsche 914 factory manual on fiche is in the standard 4x6 format. I was planning to cut my large parts fiche to fit the tray. Now, has anyone done this cutting? Is the fiche still quite readable?

Thanks. Alan. '87 Syncro Westfalia '73 914 2.0 fiche, no viewer yet
