F18 HYD PRESS IND
Hi, does anybody know, if the hydraulic pressure indicator on the lower right hand side in a F18 cockpit is mounted horizontally or is it mounted in a twisted position? If it is twisted, does anybody know the angle?

If you haven't had a look already, I would suggest visiting:
https://openhornet.com/start-here/#50ec3fec9da5400f7
On the bottom, you will find a link to the "OpenHornet Hardware Build Package", which includes all the manufacturing drawings for a 1:1 replica of an F/A-18C cockpit.
There is the option of making a donation to the development team in case you make use of their information.

Going back to your original question, the answer is "no, it is not horizontal". As for the angle, I would trust what the OpenHornet team is using in their replica:
