Hi Karl

I was just a your site and got to look at how you set up your dash.  I
noticed that you also run with a dual thermometer as I do.  I have done this
for quite a few of my vehicles and I enjoy it.  I don't know what practical
use it has, but I seem to feel like something is missing without it (like
when the battery goes deat after a few years).  I discovered a black, dual
model on a trip to Radio Shack that happens to fit exactly over the portion
of the instrument cluster between the idiot lights and the clock.  A little
velcro and some careful wire placement under the windshield seal and it
looks like it always belonged there.  I mounted the external sensor by
running the wire under the front edge of the dash untol it got close to the
windshield.  From that point it goes under the edge of  the seal until it
reaches the top corner of the windshield, where it passes out of the door
opening.  I put the sensor on the front of the dripedge and found that
eletrician's putty holds in nicely in place and keeps it from beating itself
to death.  Note that this is on a darker colored van so the putty blends
right in.  Also for the owners of earlier vanagons without the digital
clock,  the spacing in the middle is a little narrower and not as perfect a
fit.
