If you disassemble the gauge you want to use you can probably mount the workings in that panel, maybe even re-use the needles from your car, then get a nice sticker printed up on the face that will read what the gauge is for, or paint it in with a stencil and some white paint.


(Would it help to use a hole saw to remove the offending material if you wanted to use the whole 2" gauge?

I got a 18 piece set of hole saws in sizes from 3/4" to 5" from Harbor Freight for a ridiculous price, $8 or something.

It looks like it is $6, and you will wonder how you ever lived without one.

You can just cut it out so it overlaps a little bit. )


Love the video Too bad you didn't have 144 volts
