Re: Ancillary gauge lights 200 1982

"...Perhaps a gas powered alternator in the trunk..."

Hey I like that idea! And the components already exist. As I'm sure you know, all airliners, and most all private jets (at least the ones down to the size of about a Cessna Citation V) have an APU which drives a generator. And - now here's the good part - if we get one from Cessna or Beech - er, excuse me, Raytheon (at least it's Raytheon for the time being) - the APU, the generator, and the APU battery would actually fit in a 240 trunk. Well, at least it would come close to fitting. There might have to be some structural mods to the car, though . . .

As an added benefit, the APU exhaust could be ducted so that it becomes thrust!

All this for brighter dash lights . . . ?
