Paul,

When I fitted the brake cylinder to Baby Blue, I constructed a plywood 
shelf across the tunnel, at the proper height, then glassed it in.  The 
cylinder fits nicely on the shelf and, after removing the narrow hump, 
in the center of the console, a flat plat finished out the installation, 
nicely as well as provided a mount for the throttle assembly.  After 
returning from SNF, with my newly purchased Trio altitude hold, I found 
the the shelf also provided a perfect mount for the electronic control 
head... ;)  I'll be happy to show you what I did, at the Rough River 
gathering.

See you (and hopefully several others) then.
