What voltage do you want to measure? Battery voltage? Bus bar voltage?
Wouldnt that inform where you measure it?

do you have? Where would be the best place to sample the volts with
the master switch on? Thinking maybe at the master switch itself but when I tried
that the volts read 11V on a charged battery. Should I just come directly
off the bus bar?

You could use a 3 position swt. to toggle between battery, bus and off.

The Master is no bueno because it's ground-seeking, so you are seeing the
voltage drop thru the master solenoid coil.=C2-=C2-
In my Cherokee, I ran mine from the back of the cigarette lighter cuz it wa
s close to where I mounted my voltmeter and it is already fused.
Just make sure you feed the voltmeter through a fuse or breaker.=C2-=C2

For all practical purposes voltage are equal
across the bus structure. You can tie the add-on
voltmeter to any source on the bus. It's not
uncommon to simply tap an existing breaker . . .
no new breaker or needed.
The only time you're going to read 'battery voltage'
is if the alternator is not running. So as soon
as you power up the bus but before starting
the engine, the meter displays LOADED battery voltage
for what ever accessories are presently turned
on.

survive crashes, why don't they make the whole airplane
out of that stuff?"
