More Allison info.

I thought the keypad location was OEM until I saw another GV. Turned out Brett had moved it to give better access. My left hand fits perfect while seated and the vision is right on. The toggle switch below is the retarder. Well done, Brett!  ^.^d

I wonder if Brett has a patent on the design, should I ask if I can copy it. :o

Sorry, made the mock up out of plywood, then  the final out of solid walnut. 

No patent, no plans.  But it was ergonomically correct.  The vertical layout was MALO (yes, we are in S America).
