Is the lettering for the buttons in a picture file or can you change the text? I've used all my accessory switches and would like to have them labeled appropriately when this project comes up.

I made the plastic panels- overlays are the Originals from CC.

My dash had cracks where every self tapping screw attached. It was in pretty bad shape. I wound up using some G-Flex epoxy on all the cracks and then glued in these threaded inserts I got from my airplane mechanic buddy.
He's assured me they are weatherproof. I still have some work to do as far as sanding things flush and painting the epoxy black, but you get the point. I know it's not original, but the damage was pretty severe and replacements are hard to come by.

JPASS, That looks good. Curious - why do you want to paint the epoxy?

Just to make it look a little cleaner. I know it's on the back, but I will be painting the screw heads black as they are now stainless and stand out. Figured while I got the paint out why not touch it up?? |

Be sure to rough up the epoxy with sandpaper, scotchbrite, something or else the paint won't stick.

I made my own with a piece of Aluminum. Actually made 2 for each side and then cut the center out of the back plate to sandwich the dash between them so the screws weren't going thru the dash pod. Since I couldn't find replacement stickers I just used some Carbon Fiber wrap material over the top piece. And need to figure out some way to label everything but haven't got that far. Right now I just know where everything is. Not original but since it wasn't available I didn't have much of a choice.

Hit up Marty Mabe on here. He should be able to get you the correct decals. |

Spoke with House of Plastics in Orlando today. He said he can reproduce the pods. Just need enough people to buy them. He needs to see one to see what is needed for the tooling. I will be following up with him tomorrow.

Are we talking about the pod (plastic dash with holes for gauges and panels covered in vinyl) or panels (flat plastic with holes for breakers and LED's)?

The "pod" holds gauges and speedos.

Ooooh, cool! Can he do both the basic shell, as well as the vinyl overlay (I assume its a vacuum process)? If he can make it out of something stronger than the original so that it doesnt crack, that would be pretty sweet.

I'm on it. It will be plastic- since that's what they do- but maybe they can reenforces it with better tech from today? Still waiting for his call. I explained to him what it was and sent pictures. The vinyl is heat shrunk on- so I will ask if that is a possibility. I'll keep everyone posted.

Being that I am local, let me know if there is anything I can do to help out with this. I have my pod off at the moment for repair, but all the gauges and wiring harness are all still installed.

I have a thrashed-out old pod (1993 Ski Nautique) with torn-out attach points that I'd be willing to donate to the cause. It would be great if there were a way to reinforce the attach points and thus make the new pod more durable.
