Check Control Panel voltmeter? I found only two examples online and very little information. One is an r3ver's. I can't figure out if it's a rare OEM part or just a clever modification. If it's a mod I'd love to know how it's done. I'm pretty sure the unoccupied space in the panel is opaque.

And this bad boy, german check panel with built in voltmeter...only problem is I cant get the voltmeter to read any higher than 0.9... asked the seller about it, so I hope to get that figured out...

Anyways got my voltmeter workin tonight, turns out the line i was trying to pull from was part of a blown fuse, who woulda guessed

Nice. First one I've seen. Sure appears to be OE, but I could be wrong.

It's happened before.

Don't think that's OE, just a clever upgrade.

I'll have to figure out how to do it myself then.

You're right.

I oversmoked last night.

Still, it's a great idea. You could run all kinds of digital readouts in that blank space... hmmmm, ideas...

I always thought it would be a good idea to put extra buttons or lights up there.

I would love a digital temp read out.

Exactly. AFR, volts, temps.... the possibilities are endless. And with there being only 4 switch blanks that qualify as "OEM locations", that really limits how many readouts you can have. Something like this would add a ton of real estate!

e30m3s54turbo you're killing it! Love this thread. So much cool stuff!
And Luke318is Ive never seen that before but it kind of intrigues me.

On my part, After years of searching for this exact Italvolanti wheel, I finally have a great example in my hands!

Production 5-12-84. Perfect for my "late '84" build e30! Doesn't get much more period correct than that! :P







Here it is with a very rare 1st gen Lancia Delta Integrale steering wheel I also picked up while here in Germany.. (Just need the rest of the car now! haha)





Oh and ill just leave this here..
