Tony:
I used this setup on the XS that I am building. I initially flush mounted
the valve selector on top of the console just forward of the seat back.
However on further building revealed that the flap drive tube has to occupy
that space. My elegant fix was to manufacture a console glove box to sit
on top of the center console. The selector resides in the rearmost
position of it. You have a rest to put your right arm on and you don't
have the selector poking you in the elbow. With the glove box on top of
the console I have made a larger hole on the console top to allow me to get
my hand inside to do work on hoses cables etc. Its also good for inspection
items.
