Yes, it was me who did that:

<http://members.home.nl/delorean/monitor/>

It shows power to the Fuel Pump, Power to the AC-clutch,
both Fans getting power (showing my Fan Zilla cycling),
the Otterstat coming on and it indicates the status of my Alarm.

Since my first release of pictures I have rebuilt (parts of)
this system 4 times, being on revision 7 or 8 as it stands...
The clock really isn't usefull becuase of position and deviation
of about 5 minutes per week (on mine at least), this I CAN use...

It's helped me diagnose some trouble with my RPM-relay so far
that would have been tricky to diagnose elsewise, since I didn't
have anything to do electrical tests with me then...

The succes on my DeLorean has even inspired me to work on
something similar on my regular car, but insteda of making
the panel myself, I'm using unused indicator-positions on
my retrofitted digital dash for that...

Any questions are welcome, but I will NOT sell them...
