Dimensions of the tunnel console gauge panel
Dimensions of the tunnel console gauge panel
Ok, if somebody could give some dimensions of that gauge panel. It seems that it is very hard to find those, at least here in Finland so why not to try and make one. With aluminium and fiberglass it might even be possible.

Thanks! Would be great. Let see what it will look like when finished.. I just like to build things, not sure about the outcome though.. We'll see.

Voila,
I hope I can help you with that:
Try to print the 2 last pictures with the right scale because it's the real proportion!

Ok, I'll take some pics when I get something ready. I still need couple dimensions, so if you can it would be nice if you gave me those dimensions at the picture below:
Those vertical dimensions. Rest of the dimensions I can measure from the car. I have made couple of drawings of the panel and I came to that conclusion that it is easiest to use plywood or something like that for the base and then coat it with glassfibre or something like that and paint it. Shouldn't be too hard. Wood or plywood is easier to to work with than aluminium I think and you can get the shapes by sanding it.
