a easy place to mount the volt meter is under the ashtray you can run the gauge off the lighter then it turns on and off with the car

I was thinking the same. Reminds me off a girl in a VH I followed this morning, She had a huge tacho mounted high on the 'A' Pillar with a smaller gauge mounted below it, looked totally f**ked. If she had an accident she'd have smacked her head on that tacho for sure. Then again it may knock some sense into her.
