I noticed that too and sent him an email.  The site is safe; he just needs to update his security certificate.

One of the previous owners of my bus, started to upgrade the panel and then gave up with just enough gauges to make the bus roadable.

End result is a dash with lots of gauges and only a few actualy work.

So it was evendently a large project to perform.

Thinking of doing an electronic display my self, since that's where my skill set is best.

But as they say in Texas "I have been fixing to do that!"..

We once ran an article about running with minimal gauges. It said you only need about four gauges in a bus to get by, and the author said anything more than that is unnecessary. I can't find the article now, but if I run across it, I will post it here.
