2nd gen inclinometer placement

I just picked up a inclinometer and I am wondering where you fella's with them in your 2nd gen's are placing them for accuracy and line of site.

If you have pic's I would be interested in seeing them so I can get an idea of what it will look like.

THANKS GUY'S

I stuck it here:



It looks way of level in this pic, but in reality it's pretty close.

Of course... there is some adjustment at the gauge if things don't line up perfect.

That's where I was playing with but how is the line of site sitting there? Also do you know where I can find one of them screws that hold the adjustment knob on and the other side of the electrical connection?

I can see it fine. I found I used it a lot at first for reference, but now I know what 30 degrees "feels like". I did check it last weekend though when things started to feel very tippy. More for confirmation than anything. My GF (usual co-driver) was concerned with her vision being bothered at first, but the top of the unit is really no higher than the windshield wiper itself.

Screws... no. Maybe a local ACE Hardware or True Value. They seem to have a large selection of screws. If to small, maybe a hobby shop.

As far as plug, I just spliced mine in hardwired. It's never coming out anyway, so I don't have to worry about unplugging.
