To keep a head of the comments... I am contacting the Supplier to ask for a refund or another set; painted the correct way !
All painted surfaces up !   Looks a little like Russian, maybe middle eastern ?!? LLol !


Here is the correct letter direction but not painted...  the "O" works either way so I have one letter that I can use right now.  Thinking I can repaint all letters E4 RED by Dupont... IF I can get a good refund.


I think the letters worked out to be a good size, I tried to visualize what they would look like before ordering.  I cut out paper letters from the printer and put them in place, i.e. first post, got an idea and thought it would work.
From the first picture, even though they are not facing the correct way, they look good to me !
All letters can have two mounting studs along the middle, all letters are the same size and any horizontal lines are aligned; that will make for easier mounting and the Grille has a slot close enough to center to work out !I think also, that these letters will take to LED backlighting, hoping for the best there.
And the mounting studs, they will be either some long 10-32 machine screws with the heads cut off or studs.  The threads will be put in an oversized threaded hole, and epoxied in place.  Larger holes give less thread contact but helps in reducing any chance of cracking and the epoxy should make up for the hole size.
  I think I have covered things...  have to wait till weekend is over to get an answer from the Supplier.
