Any pic's of the horizon, I am resoring mine and if your parting out do you have the name plate on the dash?  I would like to have for mine if you got this still and I would give ya a few bucks for it.     ;D

Panther made some type of "jet0vator" trim device that fit inside the existing steering deflector and caused some up/down trim It required that they machine you existing parts and ran around $800 also seen folks whack of the back of the stator hsg and weld on a ring to take a Berk nozzle adaptor but scepticle as to how this actually works as the Panther axial flow needs a huge nozzle opening and the Place diverter is around 3 1/8 ish (chokes down the Panther) Tom

Yeah I have looked in to it too, No way around it just got to man up and spend some cash if I want it to work well. Whats the kit cost to convert it or would it be cheeper to just cut it out and do the fiber glass work
