Heath,
If you plan on actuating your drive/tabs with that original push button panel, you will most likely throw them overboard after 1 time out - I did. Rocker switches are so much more positive...

Yup, Patrick owns it, fitted out the same - Merc 475 turbo's w/#2 speedmasters and the saddle tanks option. At least I think he still owns it.

Pardon the poor picture but that is the way they came from the factory as this old pic from the early 80's of my Scarab shows. Mine was a 1980 that I bought in 1982.

Heath,
Those brackets are shown in their original location in 2 pictures of post #28 so 2 per side. My guess is saddle tank mounting as the only other possibility would be for side panel attachment....

Looking at your helm, the face the steering mounts, I see the holes for the ignition switches, the holes for the kill switches, maybe a cigarette lighter hole but what's the other one for?
