    Thanks! The hardwire was pretty easy. I used an "add a fuse" and plugged it in so it only has power when the ignition is on. Watch out though, I mixed it up and accidentally hooked it up in the wrong slot that made it turn on with the headlights. Didn't figure it out until I turned my lights off (rare). Lol! I would recommend the radio fuse.

    Hey.... I have been looking for your mount for a while now.

    You mounted ur ultra guage with a clip from a measuring tape. Any more pics on that? or even details?

    I am looking to do the same.

    Thank you

    Hi,
    On most tape measures, the waist or belt clip is held on with 1 screw. I removed the screw from the tape measure and slid the top part of it into the mount that comes for free from Ultraguage. Then I pealed back my roof material a bit, slid on the mount, and connected the cord for the Ultraguage.
