Looking at the holes you cut in the cover under the CD player, how did you make enough space to slide in the gauges? I just installed an AutoMeter Pro-Comp Ultralite, Boost and Volt meter in the cover. I had to trim the mounting bolts and insulate the voltmeter posts. I cut off the blue plastic release fingers at the top and carefully pushed each wire aside. With all that, I still cannot push the gauge body full in. Any advice?
The booster meter is electric and re-zeros at each startup. When you turn the key the guage zeros, then when you roll the starter, the circuit is cut until the engine starts. This rushes the second zero and the gauge is inaccurate. I added a diode and a capacitor to keep the gauge powered during the interruption. This isn't working either. A relay with cap is next. I was always looking for 12v, switched 12v, and ground, so I added a short connection strip for each flavor and this also hides in the cover. Lastly, my backup camera and LED switch round out the space available. I will post some pix.
