Default WTB 2.25" digital voltmeter

The vans analog gauge in the -8 has gone loco. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Ed

These are popular:

It will monitor volts and amps, either internal or external shunt.

I might have a old "new" Mitchel gauge still in the box on my shelf in the garage. Then again it might be the Amp gauge. I'll take a look when I get home and get back to you.

UPDATE: Sorry it is the amp meter not volt.

The Davtron M655 5-in-1 gauge is handy. Volts; OAT-F; OAT-C;-P-alt; D-alt. You have to wire it to your altitude encoder.

Are you willing to make an adapter plate?

Hundreds of other options, if that one doesn't do it for you.
