Re: Hole filler wanted
I took an old non-functioning fuel (IIRC) gauge, removed the guts, and inserted a small calendar cutout of a topless lady. It's always good for a grin. The only thing lacking is backlighting.
( I know, I know, but it's better than an empty hole in the dash.)
If I can find the old plastic plug, I'll give you a shout.

Re: Hole filler wanted
I mounted a voltmeter into the plastic hole filler; but I guess that would be hard to do if you didn't have a hole filler to begin with...

Re: Hole filler wanted
until I mounted my GPS unit in the truck I used the hole for a clock. I found a simple round clock at the department store (think it was $8). Took off the trim and installed it. Worked well and with the separate battery never had to worry about turning the power switch off on the pinz killing the clock.

Re: Hole filler wanted
I like the idea of a voltmeter, I think that's what I'll do instead. Does anyone know which terminal on the switch is battery voltage after the key is turned on? Or does anyone have a recommended place to make the connection to a voltmeter? I can always look at a schematic, too.
Re: Hole filler wanted
GPS unit took care of that also. An oil temp gauge now resides in the hole. Here in the desert with a heavy truck and when pulling a trailer having the temp gauge has worked out well.
