Quick update;
The vinyl arrived, I marked the rough boundries then used the old entryphone frame as a template to cut out the screen area.
I then left post-it notes upside-down in the corners of the LCD and laid the fascia over the top. This left the post-its stuck to the fascia and provided me with a guide on where to get the corners to line up. There were a few small bubbles from motes of dust getting trapped under, but pricking them with a scalpel worked to deflate them.
Then I put some double-sided tape on the frame and pressed it all together.
I had to swap a couple of screws out for shorter ones that were a little proud of the surface, and added split-washers to the LCD retaining clips to reduce strain. I'll add some locktite to them once I'm sure it's all as I want it.
Next I've got to tidy up the wires and hotglue the screen controls in place. Then it'll be nice and tidy and I can take my time with it.
Honestly the hardest part of this stage was constantly wiping dust and fingerprints off every polished surface.
