Does anybody know where I can have these buttons made?

Same here. I really like the interior of the early CVX18. But if your going for original then keep em.

Guess I could figure out away to attach the vinly covers on top of the dash, the earlier 18s did not have these. They came after the new dash.

Jeff ... do a Google search for "Making vinyl buttons"
There are "How to's" & DIY kits.

Done some research my neighbor has the press to do it, I am just not willing to spend the dollars for the press dies for 8 buttons.

How much are the dies? What kind of press? I might be interested in acquiring the tooling to add to my services. I need some for my boat(s) as well.

Was looking at Rochford supply web site.
Press $180
3/4 Cutter and die $83
Cap and ring ct 144. $14

Any upholsterer should be able to do it. I have an upholster in a town of 500 and he made me a couple while I waited.

I have a press. And access to a set of dies. If'n anybody gets desperate ...
