1st gen center dash hole - what to put in?

Hi everyone!
After doing all HU work, I am left with an ugly hole in the center dash - marked with arrow on the picture. What can I buy online that fits this hole? I would like a pocket/cubby, but don't know which ones fit...please help with links or info. Thank you!

geez that's a super clean FB interior LOL. digging those seats

+1 for the triple gauge bezel. my cousins fb has the triple gauge thing in that spot and looks clean

if you just want a pocket maybe this guy can whip something up for you

or maybe Retro-spec Carbon can help you out. they take custom orders. stuff thats too complicated he cant do like vents but im sure a little box would be fine

Triple guage bezel wont fit there. If anyone knows of one, I'd like to know about it! Thats where the graphic equalizer was. Its not din.
You will get two guages there however.
Here is how mine is currently. Its just a plate with holes cut and some paint. The gauges are whats clamping the plate in place.
Iv still got more gauges to go in though, so its going to change soon. Might be bye bye radio.
I also have to do something with the joy stick hole i've got a couple ideas but open to suggestions..
+3 on those kooky seats!

I have seen an ad from Banggood that is for a voltmeter, USB and a lighter...it comes with some sort of a faceplate...will see the dimensions exactly and maybe that's the answer...

Lots of things you can do but if you want something easy din pocket without door like one from a 626 that are being used in some FDs. I say without door because I don't think the door will fit flush in you dash.
