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.

These controls are modular based so they can be configured in many different configurations!!
Don't sweat it!

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

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!
