Extra Guage/Switch Suggestion?

I plan on installng a Scotty Dash Pod along w/ Pyro, Boost, and Fuel Pressure (want to keep an eye on the fuel filter as I'll be home brewing Bio-D)
http://www.scottysystems.ca/gaugepods.html

The dash pod has room for a 4th guage or switch or ????

I'm the kind of person who hates things left blank or that look incomplete (I know, I have issues)

Anyway, any thoughts of something useful to use the extra space on the pod.
I had thought about putting in a dash mount marine compass, but I picked up a review mirror w/ a compass and thermometer.

Not looking to spend anything substantial. Just thinking out loud though and hopeing someone here might have an idea.

Just put a lighted switch in and hook it up to nothing. Make sure it is RED though. Much more intimidating. One time my dad and I where working in a wash rack at a local airport and it was getting dark. There was about 50 light above us and we looked around for about 15 min and could only find a big red unlabled switch. took about another 10 min for one of us to push it.

I mean really who hooks the lights to a big red switch?

Randy

PS; you could hook it to a VERY loud buzzer in the seat so if anyone stole it and flipped the switch they would get a suprise.

A tranny temp gauge or 2nd EGT gauge for #6 cylinder.

2 EGT's would be sweet...............

Let your imagination run wild.

I'm going to change out my Scotty Dodge Pod for a fresh one and start over. Have had this idea in my head for awhile now and nows the time I think.

They will hold 4 guages very easily. I'm going to leave the fuel pressure guage where it is and just fill the rest of the space with switches. Carling Technoligies makes some very sweet switches with an incredible array of markings that would work great on our trucks. Markings such as "engine brake, driving lites, load lites, trailer marker, etc, etc"

There is a pic in my gallery with the current layout.
