[DeTomaso] Pantera Electronics- Jon Haas

[Jeff Udelson]

After a 4-yearabsence from Pantera ownership it only took 1 day before I broke something onthe new cat. I decided to check the function of the hazard lights forgettinghow fragile these switches are regardless of limited to no use. Sure, enoughjust like the Pantera before it, it popped out but would not stay locked backin. I reached out to my old friend and the wizard of all things electrical for Panteras,Jon Haas of Panter Electronics.
For those of you older owners you are likely familiarwith his numerous products engineered specifically for our cars. The hazardswitch is not one of his designs, but a switch used on numerous 70s-80s Bimmers.Jon stocks them and includes unlike other sellers dummy proof instructions forboth early and L models. I also ordered some of his outstanding LED bulbs forthe gauges and speedo/tach. They make a tremendous difference in the lightingof these instruments where you can actually see/use them at night. And yes, heincludes instructions although most of you would say well “duh” who needs instructions?But there are some useful tips besides the obvious.  
What is mostspecial about Jon is that unlike some Pantera venders who seem put out byinquiries of small dollar parts orders Jon treats you like you just bought hisentire catalog of parts. In the past he has helped me with non-Pantera related electricalissues and also Pantera electrical parts not of his manufacture. He answers hisphone and returns text and e-mails. Is this a big deal? It is to me when otherstreat customer service as optional. Jon is just a super nice guy and a pleasureto work with. I am so glad he continues to develop products for our now 50+ yearold cars.

So, if youhave not checked out his website you should.
