Got some little stuff done tonight. Finished up the plier older for the side of the console. Mi have it temporarily made out of plexiglas angle and if it works out I am going to have bassboy fab me one out of aluminum.

My reg numbers from bulldog should be here tomorrow.

 

[Bass n flats]

The numbers arrived. They went on pretty painless and look great. Black and chrome.

Thank you and yes here is what you will need to create your very own PVC tiller extension.
1. PVC pipe the diameter that I needed was 1 1/2" that's what fit over my current tiller handle.
2. PVC end cap of same diameter
3. 1 1/2x 1 1/2 rubber coupling. Sold in the plumbing dept and comes with two stainless clamps

To determine the length of extension you need measure frome the current tiller handle to your back pocket of where you are going to be standing

If you look in the first picture I made two cuts going down the pipe about 3 inches. This is to allow the PVC to expand around the tiller handle. Then just slide the PVC over the handle this would be pretty snug.

After that slide the coupler over the PVC to cover where the two join. This is not necessary but gives it a clean look. I have also seen people just use the s/s clamps.

I then Extended my kill switch to the end of the extension and mounted in the PVC cap.
