Currently having SU build me a dash and trying to brainstorm on the ways to wire the gauges and other electronics. I have found some fused distribution blocks but between Power, Ground and then the power for the lights on the Gauges, that alone is 3 of them. I cant really daisy chain the gauges as they are Livorsi and all the connectors to the gauges are Deutsch connectors. Trying to think of easier ways to do this as I am pretty sure space will be limited. Does anyone have pics of how their dashes are wired?

You can somewhat daisy chain them. It's not the cleanest, but would start from one side and wire across. Chain the blue wire from one doubled up in a butt connector on one side, with only a single wire heading toward the next gauge, and so one

Or use something like this. They make really clean metal jumpers to tie two posts together. Gauges on one side, supply on the other. Fused separately before the buss bar.

A lot of different ways to approach wiring and fusing of gauges. If the battery side of your ignition switch and your lighting switch is fused appropriately than no other fuses need to be added but that depends on how complex you want to get as far as individually fusing loads. If you are using toggle switches then circuit breaker switches make things considerably easier to wire/ fuse.

IMG_2116.pngGoing to use this to wire the gauges. SPod will be controlling the ignition on power. Will probably do an inline fuse to the junction box as well.
 
you can daisy chain Livorsi gauges. the DT series connector they use is great, just de-pin them and use 22ga wires. The DT series pins/sockets will accept up to 4 22ga wires. each of those gauges only draws like 300ma of current.......so a single 22ga wire would support upwards of 15 gauges
