Nice. After I did the big tach small clock replacement, I always thought that the panel looked out of balance. The second gauge finishes it up.

One additional thought - if you wanted to put the gauge light in the dimming curcuit, you could just as easily tap into the small clock light wiring. If I recall correctly, the feed from the tach is in that circuit.

And a question - how reliable in terms of accuracy is the volt gauge, and do they lose sensitivity over time? Your picture indicates a reading of about 14 volts - I assume the car was running when you took the picture?
