Miniature Volt Gauge
The smallest volt gauge I can find is 2" round... I was hoping to find one much smaller (digital) and also maybe even a 3 or 4 set group.
I am not neccessarily wanting to install permannently, but need these guages for ensuring what my car is doing after full restoration.
Just thinking out loud - maybe I could make a small panel of DIGITAL guages that can be easily removed. At least Volts but possibly Trans Temp/Water Temp, Oil Pressure. I saw one RPM guage with a warning button too !
Thanks

Hi Dave
Thanks again
- those are by far the smallest I have found...
1.375 x .875" - They are direct hook up too. and they have non-weatherresistant at $30.

No problem! I don't have any experience in using these particular gauges, I just happend to come across it while doing searches for digital voltmeters.
My ammeter gauge wasn't working and I ended up buying a volt meter from Darvex.

I installed it in the location for the ammeter. It works good, but it reacts very quickly to voltage fluctuations so when it's jumping between 13-15 volts, the numbers blur together and it looks like it's reading 19 volts. I was going to install a filter of some sort to smooth out the voltage readings, but I fixed my ammeter gauge and I plan to reinstall it.

This is the one I use.

I wired it to a hidden toggle switch and when its turned off, you can barely tell its even in the car. The volt meter is mounted to the lower dash right above the gas pedal.... Works well..

Hey Alan... Thanks - that sounds like a plan. Now did you hook it to the battery or the alternator. Isn't the best place to hook up the battery?
Alan - let me know next time you go to the track - will take a trip to the far side of Houston (or maybe you go to LoneStarMotorsports..?) As well - I called your muffler guy but have yet to hear back from him.
