gauge install

not sure if i should post this here or in the "interior" threads. anyways, i've had some prosport boost & oil pressure gauges installed in my car for a few months now. they're kind of ghetto wired to the fuse area. i used fuse taps to wire in the 2 power wires, and then of course put the ground in a good area between the chassis & dash metal structure.

so the question is, does anyone know of a better (yet still simple/easy) place to tap for the 2 power wires? the whole fuse tap thing was meant to be a temporary connection anyway.
