installing a volt gauge., question. Options

[cnelson]

Ok, i just order my volt gauge this afternoon. I am not worried because its an esay gauge to setup.. however where is the hole in the firewall that i need to run the wire through? If anyone has a picture of where it is and a little step by step on how to get there it would be awesome.

Thanks guys. -Chris.

and you can get those things at walmart? because if so i'll pick some up when i go up to the hardware store to have them cut my plastic for where i'm mounting my gauge.. (i will post pics, its a little surprise. ha)

but just so i'm clear, there really isn't any other wire that is right there that i could tap into huh? or even if i ran a new one from the inside fuse box if i knew what fuse to use.

Yup, cheap and easy. Make sure you get the posi-lock. It's the ones that you twist and they stay in place. Or 'splicers' for clamping into your cig line.

invest in a good solder kit. solder your connections

x150!!
But when i know that something isn't in permanent position, i'll use those posi-lock connectors. Or they also work wonders for testing equipment. You don't wanna solder something into your car when you're just testing it for sale. But you also don't want to leave wires flapping around!

But for this guys purposes, Solder and shrink wrap would be ideal. Posi-lock connectors are better than electrical tape though
