Updated: Mounted OnTheDash Webpage

I have updated our OnTheDash webpage showing some Heuer dashboard timers actually mounted "on the dash". Have a look here -- http://www.onthedash.com/Guide/_Mounted/ -- or also see the page, pasted below.

I have received some photos of other interesting installations, and hope to add these in the near future.
