I recently finished assembling my own custom quad gauge to replace the combo fuel gauge and though I would share the results. The gauge has coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and voltage gauges. The indicators for parking brake, generator, low oil, and low fuel are present as well. Watch the demo video at the link below to see it in action.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Producing these in quantity is going to be pretty difficult and expensive. This single gauge took over 40 hours of labor to complete. Could probably slim that down to 20 hours if you optimized the process, but that's only 2 gauges a weeks if you work full time. Offering the custom parts as a kit might be doable and I'll look into it. Version 2.0 might be better suited for mass production as it doesn't rely on VDO gauges. I'll update when there is more progress on the the next version.
