Reconfiguring Gaffrig/Livorsi controls
 

i have a set of Gaffrig/livorsi controls I want to use but they are from a fountain so I need to switch them from left to right hand set up (trim switch) and from shift, throttle, throttle, shift to SSTT.....


I was just wondering if anyone has done this type of thing and if so how hard is it??? What to be done before I just start taking things apart.

Piece of cake. Just start in on it.

Easy!

These controls are modular based so they can be configured in many different configurations!!

Don't sweat it! :drink:

Ok, I am going to give it a shot. Next question....the shifters say fountain on them, can you buy stickers that just say gaffrig or something like that?

Can you snap an up close photo of the existing fountain lettering? Is it just a sticker or is it cast into the handles?

I can make you a sticker that says anything you want!! :evilb:

It is a sticker I guess you would call it. It is "stuck" on there but it is about 1/16" thick with clear rubber?? on top of the actual background with the foutain lettering. I will get a pic.

The Gaffrig logo is cast into the levers. The Fountain sticker is just that, a raised sticker stuck in the recess.

I filled the recess with silversolder and machined smooth for the no name look, then sent out to be chromed and powder coated

I love the chrome look, where did you have them chromed and do you remember how much?

Found a plating shop in Indianapolis, 1 hr from me. Think it was around $150???? Been several yrs.

Had a base for my cruisers remote spot light rechromed just a month ago, different shop. Min charge was $65. Wished I would have had the whole thing redone now. Wouldn't have cost any more sine I was still under the min. The plating quality is 10x better than original.

Might just have to have mine done! Won't be this year, too many projects already in the fire. I will put it on the list for winter 12/13! :)

Here's pics of what I am talking about....

I can definetly make you a decal to say what ever you want (it won't be bubbled like that one).

You may have to grind down any logo that is under the existing logo first

I am sure we can come up with something! ;)

Why don't you call Gaffrig or Livorsi and ask about buying the stickers if they are available?

I bought the stickers from Livorsi..$2.00 each

thanks for the encouragement guys!! Got them all switched around today in about 10 minutes.

It would have been 5 mins but flipping the trim switch on the one handle was a little bit of a pain. Got it though!!!

:thankyouthankyou:
