Where to fit a small analogue voltmeter ?

It works just fine but in bright daylight you can't read the display.
Has anyone here fitted a small diameter Analogue guage -the old headlamp mounted units would be ideal you could fit a raised type unit in a suitable housing?

Hi Ted,
In terms of positioning I think it’s down to personal choice. If you look at my “Cockpit Upgrade” post you will see I accommodated 6 gauges. The AFR gauge was a little lager in diameter so would not sit as low as the others.
In terms of housings it depends what you can create with the garage resources you have available.
I am pleased with the good info that mine provide, and the wiring you have should work fine, but I would go for a gauge that has a damped movement, to avoid needle vibration.
Hope this helps.
Great that you are now on the road.
All the best
Dennis

Hi Dennis - I had forgotten that post - I was hoping I could find a handlebar mounted analogue gauge as I've seen on the net but can't find anyone who sells the. Thanks Ted
