Custom dash insert for my voltage meters

[1loudmonte]

I just finished making and installing a insert in my dash that looks a close to factory as can be. It holds my 2 voltage meters. Let me know what you guys think. Pics are in the link as it wouldn't let me upload them.

Glad to see other people rocking the ebay volt meters.

Maybe put some rocker/toggle switches there too, to control the meters?

I actually got them from adaifruit industries. I figured I would give them a try. Testing them out they were bright and very accurate, with a decent refresh rate.

Well know you know where they got them from!

They have even smaller ones too

Only problem with these small ones is that the wires and solder points are exposed, so any sort of movement and they can break fairly easily, but the way you have those mounted would be fine. You could even fit a mini one in the middle if you wanted. Heck, you could put 4 of them haha.
