Now I just need a remote pot mounted in the box with a knob.

Me too.
I figure there are a lot of youngsters out there that work with smd (surface mounted devices). They are experts working with PC boards.
Go to the allelectronics.com surplus site and on the front cover you'll see a 3-turn used pot with 1/4" shaft. Don't forget a precision resistor can be used to bridge the pot and narrow the adjustment range to less than hypersensitive status.
Mine gets this tweak plus a gob of GOOP® to strain relieve the wires that are soldered to the board. The wires go to a pass-through terminal strip which is mounted on the case. This allows Indy 500 tire type changes of the pot. There are 10 turn pots out there. And .01 resistors.
The Chinese are just now starting to make bargraph, digital gauges. Digital gauges must be read. Analog gauges need to only be gazed at.
