Triple gauge kit, Finally installed!! Options

[HorseHead]

Here is my latest modz, a triple gauge kit molded at the top of my head unit. I wanted this kit to be as close as "factory installed" as possible. I ask a freind to mold it to rough, and I finished it my self, including final adjusments and finish. Here's what it looks like:









For the "low gloss" finish, I've used the semi-gloss Krylon paint for plastic, and for the final molding, the famous Mighty Putty as seen on tv The gauge kit is the Equus 1½" mechanical gauges, that includes voltmeter, oil pressure and engine coolant temp. The engine coolant temp gauge is unused right now, cuz we already have one in our instrument cluster, I'm looking for a replacement gauge. Any suggestions welcomed about it.

Let me know what u think

just a thought, you say that you've connected to the stereo power, isn't this a regulated 12V supply?? so you will not actually be seeing what the true battery voltage is??

I ran a power feed from the batt to my volt gauge, and used the ignition lead to the stereo as the 'switch' for the gauges. This then gives the actual battery volts. Have you noticed this or is it not a regulated supply??
