It looks better in person really...more factory look. Much better than white. Sanded it all down to bare metal..clear coated it..then flat blacked the bottom of dash, then more clear coat ontop of that...shift plate got blacked and cleared as well.

I am pretty please with the paint job, but not the paint itself....it pills right off, like plasti-dip. Should have clearcoated it I guess...but oh well, still much better than it was.

Appreciate it...yeah I found some "rocker" switches surfin the web today...also just got back in from fixing that sucking back in throttle...I put a regular lever type throttle on it. Mounted it right above the hydrolic lever, kinda under the dash, on driverside...don't look to bad...sure works alot better.

I suppose this had the pull throttle...they are to be turned to tighten so they don't slip back in...mine was similar... I drilled the knob and shaft...put a small tension pin though it....filed it smooth...works OK now....

Yes it was the pull type throttle. I tried everything to get it to work right..never would...I had a couple of these type throttles laying round here. N though what the heck...works much better...still having what I "hope" is a belt issue...won't pull a hill....I backed down my driveway...went to come back up, bout halfway, it started "cutting out" to the point it almost killed it, and it was smoking the belt as well...think its just been stretched too many times.
