Default Joystick Winch Control

Hi, this is just sharing ideas. I do not know, whether there are other ideas similar to this? Initial idea, from the difficulties which arise each time I have to operate the winch. I have to take the remote, sometimes stored in places difficult to reach and then insert it in the box solenoid. At moment like that I sometimes think, how easily when available remote to operate the winch from in-cab. Til then I discovered this two-way joysticks (see pic).

I then to the shop and ask a mechanic to install it. Only need two wires connecting the solenoid box with this joysticks. For placement joysticks I select in the panel, just at the top of the cigarette lighter. One thing you should consider, because the dashboard panel had perforated for mounting joysticks.

I also added a switch off to avoid for the joystick does not work when not needed.

Great idea, but that first picture is a freaking mind game. The gauge cluster is the right way up, but the controls are on the wrong side, and upside down. Are you from Australia or something?

Edit nevermind, Indonesia. I'm a little tired.
