Instrument panel
 
I started looking into replacing the original compass as well as renewing all of the gages. I can't figure out how to get to the damn things!! The panel looks to be molded in with no screws or attachments and there is no way I can see to get to the back side...unless by dis-manteling the starboard/aft side of the cabin forward of the helm....and I missing something??

All of the Formula "long decks" (233 Intercepter, 255 Liberator, 302 SR-1, etc.) from the late 70's~early '80's appear to have the same configuration...any one have insight on this?

...still looking at a way to access the back of the instrument panel. Any late '70s or early '80s 255 or 302 Formula owners have experience with this? I called Formula and got no help.

Sweet!!

These old Formula Liberators still look as good as they did 30+ years ago.:evilb:

Let's figure out a decent way to set our anchors up so we can keep them on deck if we want to...I'm open to suggestions.
