Bongo Fury

Just a quick project :

Cost less than £3 each from China via eBay ...inc postage! Checked the voltage via a voltmeter and they are accurate.

Dremelled the holes to fit, removed the centre console to do this. Wired direct to each battery via a fuse and the double switch down by my left knee. Now we know exactly what voltage the battery's are via a quick glance, they can be turned off when not required.

A cheap, easy thing to do ....took about 2 hrs to do all in.

Just got one of these little jobbies to monitor the LB in the caravan, £2.60 inc delivery.

Great deal.

Excellent

Ah, so that's what you wanted that trim panel for . Very neat looking job.

Darn it ..you got me there Simon!

Yeah, cut the original hole on the bottom right but when I tried to re-fit it, it was touching the metal plate behind so wouldn't fit flush. Fussy bugger, hence the SOS for a new panel.....

Very neat.
Have been trawling Ebay for one but can't find them. Any chance of a link please?

Item ref : 221298249683, cost £2.37 each inc postage from China ( how on earth they make any money is beyond me! ) you can get different colour displays if you use the "find items like this" tab

Thank you

Just fitted my Volt/temp/clock drilled a little hole in the cubby above the stereo, I now need to wire in a switch to choose between leisure and starter batteries.


Only £5 here:

Any excuse to show off my Bongomaschine!



Full details here. (Took a little longer than two hours...)

Hi
Would you consider making / producing and selling these Digital Gauges sure there would be lots of buyers.
Looks really good .

Probably missing something here?

Whilst I think this is a great idea and fancy trying it out, doesn't the position mean that its difficult to move the central console when carrying out maintenance, etc?

No Dave!
The LCD's take very little room, the wiring has two quick release connectors so you lift the console as usual, unclip the connections and remove... Simples!!!!

Ahhhh, I was missing something!!

Cheers

I've got one of these tool although I find that the voltage reading sample interval is far too frequent (meaning it's flickering between fractions of a v all the time). Also slightly dubious temperature reading, but maybe thus is due to where I located the sensor. Still like it though. Just wish it could be a green backlight rather than the choice of blue or orange! Cheers, Dave.
