Well I finally got it in and it looks pretty cool. Still need to wire it up. A little alteration to the existing plate and added my custom plate an viola; instant visibility.

I can have these made at a pretty reasonable cost that I can pass on. This panel is 16 ga. mild steel; but I think a little thinner will be the way to go. This variation has a hole for a x19 "console gauge" (clock in my case) and 4 holes for standard VDO gauges. With basketweave folded through, the gauges fit perfectly snug. Other variations could use either size. Hardest thing was getting the basketweave to line up... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I would need at least 15 interested parties to make it work; preferable wanting the same configuration or similar.

Price point will be roughly $40-45 delivered to CONUS. I await the raves and rants.

Also have an extra one right now with the same configuration if anyone interested; had two made.

Its a clean look but costs you the heater contols and having to cut a bit into the stock dash.

For 5 gauges you can get the 3 gauge radio plate and the 2 gauge ashtray pod from rennmetal, have heat controls, and not cut up the dash. Not as clean but fully reverseable.
