>> Note: I'm also going to install capacitance sending units.  I wanted the site gauges as a low-tech backup.  I had only capacitance senders in my Glastar and they weren't the greatest things and I ended up replacing them with mechanicals, because it's easy to do both in the V, I'm hedging my bets …
