Sounds like a good idea to me - would also be handy to place the most used controls on the seat too - NOT the hydro handle - we've been down that road below. How about the hydro handle we all know and love, along with a "mini console" with the seperator_header switches, and the auger swing switch - all attached to the seat and all the other controls on the side console we have nowIJ Write your paper up and send a copy to Independence.
