A long, long time ago - in a galaxy far, far away - I was involved in this very exercise. Not, I hasten to add, in a transport category aircraft but a suitable steed. One chap did it as a sponsored fund raising exercise on a nice day with a safety pilot. I was involved with the planning of how it would work.
Bizarrely, the localiser works "normally". Needle left, you need to roll left - and push! The G/S works in reverse, high you need to "raise" the nose as you are looking at it and vice versa.
Those were the days when such things weren't frowned upon, but seen as useful training. Oh, well
