Did Dan come up with the patterns originally? I got my kit from Don (formerly of Don & Glen's swap meet fame) back when he was working at Pelican the first time. (Or was it just before then?)

They're not hard to build, but making the face-plate (the part you can see) and making it look nice are not that easy. The back plate shouldn't be too tough to make. Just remove gauge modules from their backing plates and lay them out on some flat stock, then mark where the holes need to be. Hmm, you'll have to have them stuffed into the gauge housing, I guess, to see where they need to be in relation to each other.

Or you could borrow a backing plate from someone who has one.
