The dash monitor is just a cheap 10.1" tablet of your choice running torque and a custom display made by moving the guages I wanted where I wanted.
It's held in place with those removable velcro strips. A 10.1 fits perfectly. I don't think a 12"could squeeze in. To get it to sit purely flush you'll have to clip off the trip reset button on the factory Guage cluster or build some offsets from taped up coins up something if you think the trip reset that only goes to 1000 miles has value(clipped off, it still works. You just need a pen or something to push the button you made from the stem it was...and you can see I have a trip reset for torque right where the factory Ford reset was)

The beauty of it is you can move the guages around so the steering wheel doesn't block anything. With the swipe of a finger I'm viewing secondary guages. With another swipe I'm viewing maps or a camera.

Link below is a picture of the Guage cluster I spent 10 minutes on putting together with torque. As it needs changed, I can change it in about a 15 seconds per Guage. Bigger, different, dial, or just moved. And they overlay and overlap if you like.

Edit:
A second thought while posting this post:
I imagine a $10 tablet mount from Amazon would allow the screen to mount to the steering column in such a way that the screen would tilt as you tilted the wheel. I see little value in it, but hey, a mod is a mod....
