Hmmmm DARPA, so that's where you been getting all that SS.....

But if I made a switch panel that high, the guy in the other lane might see me "adjusting" them!

Aircraft are the first machines I ever worked on... they left a permanent mark.

The panel(s) that I made use switches from auto parts stores.

Thanks - my plan of attack is too connect the solenoid in-line with the driver's front wheel, with the pressure gauge reading from an aftermarket junction block. The system has an arming switch, activated by the brake switch, and deactivated by the throttle pedal. I like the KISS principle as far as driving technique...

What a light show!

That's the general idea... with ~13 aftermarket gauges, almost a dozen switches and a bunch of LEDs, there's a lot going on in the cockpit when the light changes - I don't have time to look at a lot of the items except with my peripheral vision.
