I can custom make a dash panel for you. It'll be 6061 T6, powdercoated to whatever color you want and lazer engraved. They look sweet. PM me.

I have been snooping around for one. Mostly projects
I was considering stripping the old Hustler and throwing the
Hardware at a 37 foot plus Cat. (I have serious Issues).

Have I lost my mind? Wish I had the Cake to buy a turn key
Skater. Maybe someday. Guess ill just keep polishing
old Betsy.

Oh yeah have never tried the Trans thermostats yet.
Winter came in to fast last year. I hope they work well.
You want to see 170 to 180.?? Before the addition of the t-stats it was 120.

Hope all is well
Gerry
