The reason I disassembled them was to make it easier for removal. I was going to toss them since they are peeling. If you needed a part like a shifter arm or something hardware wise I could send it to you.
Other than that I don't think you would want to install these.

Looks great so far. Here's a pic showing my dash upgrades - new Aria wheel and chrome bezel under compass.

I like the bezel under the compass. Where did you find one to fit?

Thanks. Actually the bezel is a one off piece. I gave my buddy a drawing and he turned one out of brass on his lathe. I finished it up, polished and had it chrome plated. The white plastic was yellowing and I painted the rest of the housing with Fusion paint. It's been a few years and held up perfectly.

The extra switch is on/off for our Rugged Radio 4 person Intercom, tried to get it as stealth as possible.

looks great! get the dual trim switches in the throttle, one of the best mods I did. I will never own another boat without the dual switches.
