Hey Lars, I am pretty sure 146.05 mm is correct (5.75 inches), as in this excellent article you mentioned previously in this thread: http://www.mycockpit.org/forums/content.php?r=165-Hessel-Oosten-s-Panel-Building-Focussed-On-Dimensions
Good job thus far triise! I'm just starting out my own pit as well, scouring the forums for tips and Ebay for parts - there is an immense amount of info to digest! Looking forward following the rest of your build.
Thanks for the update Deadman. I'll put this 'order' on hold for the moment, and try to source some knobs from somewhere else. I might very well be interested in full (or partial) sets, once there is enough interest.
Thank you for the quick reply. I totally understand. I'll be away for a couple of weeks and I'll wait to see if anyone else is interested, before trying to source the knobs from somewhere else. Cheers!
This is awesome! Great work! I implemented the basic 'tutorial' (master caution light and reset button) with an Arduino Pro Mini and it worked flawlessly. Took about 15-20 mins to setup.
