Really well done, You could replace the centre clock too with that round display.

Little bit more extravagant but I built this for a friend's sort of Land Rover (it's all LR parts but a custom race buggy). Some senders read directly (including Td5 speedo transducer) but a fair chunk of the information is pulled over CAN bus from the Megasquirt ECU running it.

Slightly related but I've also been building this which is a CAN triggered relay. A prototype is winging its way to Sweden for testing - basically to listen to the message broadcast from a P38 ECU with coolant temperature and uses it to switch in a radiator fan. It will become more generic shortly.

That's exactly the same thought I had. I'm looking through the usual suppliers to find one that will do the job. It will be a project for the winter. It solves the usual problem I have with projects like this, building some form of case to hold the electronics.

I'll post all the details on GitHub when it's finished.
