PC bodge done:
I connected a socket to the front panel on/off/reset switch (yellow boxes.) This will be extended to the monitor location so I don't need to reach under the seat to turn on the computer.
I installed the GPS reciever where the hard drive would normally go. it's mounted on a shelf made with styrene plastic. The reciever is wired to use an external antenna. I also soldered up the USB plug to keep things reasonably tidy.
I've used this reciever in other projects, and it's really nice for the price: 10hz updates with WAAS - it's fast to aquire sattelites and is generally accurate to about 1 meter.
