I did a temporary mount of the assembly to the underside of the dashboard, then wired them up to the battery pack, current shunt and 12V supply. This will give me a good indication of what's going on with the battery pack if I don't have the Android app running.
This blog follows the progress of restoring and converting a 1973 Porsche 914 from stock to full electric drive, with an electric motor and half a ton of batteries. Now that the car is done and in storage while I live overseas, I'm adding descriptions and pictures of each Tesla location I visit.

EA Gauges
The kit comes with ammeter and state-of-charge gauges. Unfortunately they gave me a 3-hole mount and only 2 gauges - typical! I bought a chrome 2-hole mount from a local auto parts store, then sanded, primed and painted it black. I mounted the gauges in the holes, the followed the directions to install and wire the backlights.
