Kevin....who is Maveric Marine in the valley. Joe Bacca trained with him before he worked for Dick Simon and then got his own shop. How is your bad machine coming? Still haven't seen it (actually run) yet!!

Yeah you have 1.5 drives. They prop dyno at Maveric is for tunning and testing, does not accuratley measure HP and that's not what it is for. It is used or setting fuel pressure and diagnosing problems that onyl ocour under a load, usefull tool but not for measuring power.

Re: Formula Dash Panels
This piece that clicks into the latch broke off the back of my dash panel.
Anyone have ideas on how to re-attach it?

Re: Formula Dash Panels
Nort,
Looks like your fabricator placed a similar bracket on your new dash panel in pic 2 post #57.
Can you find out how he attached it?
Thanks,
Chris

Re: Formula Dash Panels
You guys are lucky with the newer dsah styles. I've got a 1987 SR357 and I've been trying to make a tracing for a new dash panel for the last 6 months. Obviously I'm not a draftsman or artist and I'm glad I don't have to try and make a living doing that.
what a nightmare to update the looks--any suggestions ? has anybody updated this old resin'bucket dash?

I may be needing one of these. Got any left?
What did you plate with and what kind of paint did you use?
Could I have your fabricator cut holes and attach latch bar?
