Here is the latest attempt http://textors.com/IMG_4587_640x427.jpg. Compasswill be in center section, GPS on top of cowl behind windscreen. Faintdiagonal lines depict aileron cables behind panel. Brown boxes below showbreakers (or fuses), switches, carb heat and mixture.

I disagree, Jeff, for the following reason: The tach cable is not veryflexible and will have to run down one side or the other (if you want ausable front cockpit). I would mount the tach as close to the outboard edgeof the panel as possible to ease the problems routing the cable - and itwill still be a problem.Jack PhillipsNX899JPRaleigh, NC-----Original Message-----

Another approach, which I used, was an electric tach. This avoided cable bend and right angle drive issues.--Jim lagowski----- Original Message -----

I used the exact same float from the Ford dealer that Rick Holland shows. Attachedit a little different, but the idea is identical. So far so good.--------Kevin PurteeNX899KPAustin/Georgetown, TXRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Yet Another Attempt at Panel Layout

Jack - I'm having good luck with my electronic tach. Looks kinda modern in thepanel (thus matching the GPS and the handheld). It works well and was simpleto install.--------Kevin PurteeNX899KPAustin/Georgetown, TXRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
