Does anyone have any ideas on where to put mechanical trim indicators on a Blackhawk LE dash? Has anyone done this to a LE dash?

Do you have this space available? Trying to remember what the LE dash looks like. Big black insert covering most of the dash right? This was the only space I found that worked on my 22.

If you look on a lot of race boats, you will see indicators that mount on the horizontal part of the dash. They telescope up and down as you adjust the trim and tabs. Kind of a heads up display. Stainless Marine makes this unit:

I have also seen some which mount 1 indicator at a time, so there's less cutting. Just drilling holes, whereas the stainless marine one looks like you have to cut out a rectangle. Brownie at Stainless could fill you in I'm sure. I would think they make different configurations of thier unit......like for singles....

I think that this is a much better way of doing indicators.

The right side of the wheel is covered in part of the black panel for the gauges. The indicators from SSM seem like they would work on the top flat part of the dash. I think that would look pretty cool.
Thanks
