Volt Meter Wireing

[T0M]

just wondering if when you wire in a volt gauge it goes in series with a live . or a live is spliced and then negative to an earth.

one wire (probably either black or brown) goes to a permanent -ve (chassis)
the other wire (usually red) goes to an ignition switched +ve

Would like to know how to remove voltmeter. Do I remove the front perspex and pull the voltmeter backwards or other?
Not wanting to force and break it.

normally there are 2 nuts on the back that hold on a U shape clamp. remove them then pull the whole unit out forwards. i'll try and find you a pic...

Ok, thanks.

best i can find. you can see the black U shape bracket with 2 silver nuts holding it in place. the ends of the U push against the inside of the dash and pull the gauge, which can't come all the way thru thanks to the wider surround on it. make sense?

Thanks for the info and picture. Have managed to remove and rewire voltmeter and everythings a'ok.
Cheers
