Thanks for the offer Brent, but being the high tech geek that I am, I insist on an electronic solution. I called Fredericks Sensors this morning and talked with one of their engineers. He pointed out the exact part number I'll need for my application and then connected me with sales. A very nice lady with a Bavarian accent talked to me and offered to send a free sample. I explained that I was an individual doing a one-off, but she insisted that I wouldn't pay for it. So now I need circuitry gurus to chime in. I actually got the very same sensor that I posted in the picture above, only with a metalic casing to withstand heat and not shatter in an automotive application. Two axis of measure + - 60 degrees for the price of none! I can't wait to get it! Thanks again for your kind offer Brent.
