Hello again fellow travellers
wishing to provide maximum information on engine conditions I decided to convert the redundant ash tray into a warning panel.
This is to provide water temperature reading, indication that the fan is running, oil pressure warning light, and alarm system armed warning light.
Ive also retained the original ash tray for car originality.

You could probably do so much more if you put a Raspberry Pi computer in that ash-tray adaptation.

John- I'm guessing that is also a serial port extension for the megasquirt. May have to steal that idea.
