    all type of dials would fit if connected to the right place.

    If you want a easy one the why not fit an AMPs one (or Ammeter) along with the voltage meter. It would show you how much current is flowing in or out of the battery while the volts just shows the current level of you battery. Oil pressure might be useful also (not sure how this links up tho).

    What about an external temperature meter.

    Old audi quattros had lots of dials too.

    Some ideas....

    Amps, are a poop to fit. You have to send all the battery voltage throught the dash to the gauge, so thats a fappin' huge wire to the dial and back to the alt circuit.
