I like it. I love mockups when they are helpful to plan how things will fit, probably a result of managing the team that built two full scale mockups of the F119 engine for the USAF ATF F-22 Raptor in the 80s. I built at least three versions when adding a PerfectPass speed control to my ETEC 150 HO. It was essential to mockup the servo-control to make sure it would fit under the engine cover before spending money for the real control.

Don’t overlook where your gunnel mounted engine throttle control will be relative to the steering wheel, and a beverage holder (probably to the right of the steering wheel). Also consider future add-ons like trim tab controls and additional gauges. Best wishes.
