Dirt cheap: Amazon.com "car cigarette lighter" USB charger with voltage display. Infinitely cheaper and easier then installing "aircraft grade" USB ports and volt meter.

Relatively cheap: TAF spin on oil filter adapter. Easier to deal with than the oil screen, better for the engine, and adds a little passive oil cooling without fuss.

Cheap in the glass cockpit world: Garmin Aera 660 + GDL 50. About $1500 gets you maps and info, GPS nav, weather, ADS-B traffic, and a pretty solid AI with synthetic vision.

I’m trying to assemble an article for the Coupe Capers about small modifications to Ercoupes that make things a little easier or nicer. 
Of course “inexpensive” is a relative term. But go ahead and reply with anything you’ve done to your Ercoupe that makes life easier. 
I’ll start - the quick drain on my oil sump. It makes changing oil so much easier and neater. The model for the C75-C85 is the S6250 for $109.95 at Aircraft Spruce. 
Your ideas?
