Previous owner pitched my original wheel when hydraulic steering was installed. I did find the plastic horn button with the Excalibur emblem molded in.

Zanie-
What is the size and year of your boat?

FASTTIMES 01-30-2004 11:08 AM

Zanie 01-30-2004 11:21 AM

ExcaliberHawk40....Your dash looks great also......are you going to use the old lexan hinged cover over the gages as it was originally?......Fred

Zanie,

I plan to update mine this winter too. I'm waiting to see how maney other things require $$$ first. I like the period look which is one reason I like the boat, but I'll go the white route on the dash. I thought WhiteDiamonds/DiamondBoy/Spencer (not sure of his OSO name) did a nice job on his, but it really wasn't to my taste.

I've noticed a regular supply of Gaffrig guages and panels from Baja's for sale on Ebay. I wonder what's up with that?

Talk to Too Old for guages and other parts. I have the excalibur horn button also but it will not fit the new wheel. I changed out the guages as i hated the look of the teleflexes that came on the boat.

Fred-Thanks, im not sure what to do about that. It looks nice as it is, but i think we will try the lexan cover. We have had all new white and Clear panel covers made, just cant decide about the clear yet.

Nice updates you guys....
I did my scarab KV dash last winter. Took out the original black VDo gauges from '82 and did all new aluminum painted white panels and gaffrig gauges that have yellow rims w/ teal bezels. I also put in the newer style toggle switches, painted the original trim panel white, getting new trim indicator as we speak as well as compass. And finally got white gaffrig throttles. The colors were a perfect match. I posted a thread on this sometime last spring. Anyway, I don't have a pic on this computer, since I am in Europe, but will be back for summer and hope to meet some of you at LOTO!!!
