You could make it out of card stock, anglue it to the back plate, I think
most meters have a paper or plastic thing similar to what I'm taking about.
It would make it easier for them to roll out their meters for different
applications.  If you guys decide on a meter I can CAD up a back plate for
ya all.  Let me know.

An unlabeled 0-100 scale would be perfect.  Then it can just measure a
