RE: [DML] Dash/Binnacle update

While were waiting on Houston to produce new Binnacles,  I have had 2
covered with no lines or seen stitches. They are not on the site yet, but
soon. Over the week end.

We'd hoped to have samples ready to show at PF, but they didn't arrive in
time for the show. It's possible that they may be at the California Classic
(http://www.californiaautofest.com) next month.

Someone emailed me about the molded plastic caps I mentioned a year or so
ago. At one time we had considered the plastic glue-on caps for a fix to the
dash/binnacle problem. The tooling costs were pretty high, and the quality
of the caps was marginal. The fit was not quite right, and the rounded shape
of the binnacle made them more difficuly to fit.

What's worse is that fact that left uncovered, they are very prone to
warping in the heat, and this is NOT covered under the warranty. The
manufacturers suggestion was to use a dashmat to cover them to help prevent
warping. We thought that solution was unacceptable.

When the samples are ready, we'll have photos online for all to see.
