Those who have been here already...when you put the steam gauges in your

panel, how do you fit the ones with the knobs sticking out of one corner?

For the (United Instruments) altimeter it looks like I won't have a choice

and will have to hog out some of the corner of the panel where the knob goes

(big bump in the case under the knob).  However, for the MD200 OBS (VOR/ILS

indicator) and the 2 inch G meter (Falcon Gauge) the knobs have small posts

that would likely fit through the screw hole if the knob were removed before

installing the gauge.  Can the knobs on these gauges be removed prior to

installing the gauge and then re-attached afterwords?  Or am I just going to

have to make a small slot between the cutout and the screw hole? Also, what

exactly is the bit size used to drill these screw holes?  #6 screws???



Annunciator lights, I'd like to find some square ones with the colored

plastic and engraved text that shows what subsystem is having a problem

(commercial airline pilots know them well).  I have had some great input

from an RV-6A pilot who rolled his own.  I've perused the web quite a while

and haven't found much that might work for my application (mostly round

lampholders with colored lenses but you couldn't really engrave them with

text like I'm wanting). Any suggestions on this one?  The only other option

I can see is to use the round lampholders and have engraved text underneath

each one with the subsystem being annunciated. Not the optimum solution but

given what I've found so far, looking more and more viable all the time

(probably simpler and quicker too).  Thanks.
