Nice setup, something to add to the To-Do list after the Aux Light.
In the Off-Road Truck industry they use a wide elastic band around the gauges to reduce most vibrations that make it to the gauge itself. How that works I do not know but in a truck is appears to work well.
There are Plastic Pods for different vehicles that can be mod壇 to fit your dash contour.
I used a Mustang Gauge Pod on my last Ranger and it worked out OK.
The volt meter may only tell you that you have 12-14 volts in the battery.
if the alternator goes bad the battery will still read 12-14 volts for a while.
The older style Amp Gauges were the thing to have off the Alternator for reading good or bad.

I will watch them. Voltmeter tells me the alternator is good

Tachdriver,
Nice job on that mount. It looks real professional. Now that it has been a year and a half, how are those gauges holding up? I'm thinking about putting an analog tachometer on my BX2350 and I'm wondering if marine gauges are needed on a tractor.

Good to hear they are holding up well. I've been thinking of adding an egt, boost, and hydraulic temperature gauge to my 5240. I just wish someone made a mount of some sort.
