Default Aux gauge pod wiring sanity check

Forgive me for asking such a basic question, but electrical is not my strong suit so I'd like to confirm my method of wiring below.

As you can see, I daisy-chained the power and ground (respectively) across each of the three gauges on the spade terminals, then ran a single power and a single ground from the available post terminals on the last gauge in the series.

Any issues with doing it this way and having power run through one gauge before it reaches the next in series?

Nothing wrong with that. Nice and sanitary.

Thanks for the confirmation, Ed. Much appreciated. I'm just starting to get my feet wet with wiring the car, and so far I have been enjoying it. For most of the car, everything in my American Autowire kit is well organized and the instructions are clear even for a novice like me. These aux gauges are one of the few instances where I needed to figure things out on my own, so it's good that they are extremely basic.

Got them mounted last night and I think they look great.
