volt gauge or not?

Hmmm...seems like a bit of a split vote here, well I personally am not a fan of amp gauges and believe a volt gauge will at least give you a sign something is going wrong when it dose from there I will use my multi meter or Power Probe 1V to finish diagnoses although I have never had a complete dash fire I have seen some melted ammeters before and yes it is quite possible they were self inflicted from bad wiring however at this point the dash is already out of the car for painting and replacement of the speedo so I am going to take the opportunity to have less electrical resistance in the factory harness by bypassing the ammeter and more importantly the real weak link, the bulkhead connector union for the main power in and out, I guess my original question was really once the ammeter gauge gets bypassed are you installing a volt meter in place and it seems most are, and where are you mounting it, looks like I will have to use the aftermarket bracket that comes with the gauge but I am not a fan of them and lastly where you are tapping into them for power, I think I will use dedicated wires through a grommet, has anyone ever seen a "pod" style bracket that would mount on the "a" pillar like a boost or vacuum gauge would? if so where did you get it?
