[simpits-tech] Pit Poll

[Joseph Fagner]

I've got one of those in the 16, fuel gauge is a dual concentric pointer.  I
might cheat and go 7 seg for that until I have enough time to work on
getting that bad boy to work and then swap it out.  I got all the parts cut
for my pit on a waterjet about a month ago, but just haven't had any bloody
time to get out into the garage and start building.

Hi Jay
That's sounds fair!

They are both Dual Pointer

Bleed Pressure is the light gray panel on the right side about 3/4 
the way down a dual concentric 2 inch round gauge.

I don't have a close up of the flaps gauge but it is also a dual 
concentric 2 inch round gauge.
