Did a mod the other day.  I put two LED lights in the dash.  The anodes goes to a 12 V source. The Cathods to the bolt that holds the main gear stop on the top of the wheel well for the aerocet float. Just lift the big panel on the float and you will see two bolts at the front of the wheel well on the top.  

 

When the gear comes up..and hits the stop...it grounds out and the light goes green.  In fact, my left gear was not quite hitting the stop when there was no weight on it.  Looks like it was against the stop to me...but guess not quite. Not sure how far off the over center it was but I adjusted it till I got the light with gear down in the air just to be sure. 

 

So if something goes off with the cables after a hard landing on wheels...you will see it immediately. 

 

Costs about $ 10.  Good piece of mind.
