[QUOTE="vinito, post: 97749, member: 12954"] I was thinking about installing some gauges next, partly because I may have thought of a good way to make it very simple. My previous plan was to install them in some kind of box under the canopy, but after looking at the pedestal which houses the control levers, maybe it would be even better to put them inside there. There's ample space for the guts to fit behind the sheet metal as well as enough space to fit 3 or 4 gauges in a spot that's easy to glance at. The previous instruction panel had a strip of warning labels in the same spot, but we don't need no stinking warning labels! Here's a picture of the top of the tower with the area in question circled, then the inset shows how it looks now after being blasted and painted, which honestly looks kind of bland now anyways. I was thinking of ways to re-do the instruction chart and I can still do that. But are there any reasons to not put it here?

Other than that possibility, it seems like a pretty good place for gauges. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
