This is turning into quite the elaborate project! I'm waiting to see it in operation...

Hooks to hang the vacuums controls wherever is best. The level sensor cable is kind of special and is 15', so in order for the sensor to reach all the drums as I move the primary separator to empty drums, the 15' is going to be a limiting factor for where this box can be, so I made hooks.

These are 3/6" x 1" SS flatbar. I used heat and a big hammer and a larger vice to fashion the hooked ends. Drilling the four holes (to mount the hooks to the cabinet) and countersinking them took me a stupid long time today.
