Hey guys,
By any chance has anyone made or sourced a 3 gauge dash kit that has a single DIN slot for a CD player under it? I would perfer if someone knows where I can purchase one as I don't have a ton of time anymore to make something like this.

I know manntis (rotorhead.ca) was making EXACTLY what I am in need of, but no progress has been made on the new ones as far as I know. BTW manntis if you read this I still haven't recieved my refund (sent payment over a year ago....).

Suggestions are really appreciated!

Thanks guys!

Anyone?

 

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but here's the Rotary Engineering console insert that came out of my SA when I converted to FB interior. It's a beautifully made piece, 3/16" aluminum, black anodized, machined bevelled edges to match the console. If it's of use to you (or anyone else for that matter), drop me a line and we can work something out.

 

I made my own to fit where the radio and filler pieces go. The piece I used was a thin sheet of galvanized sheet metal, a bit thin, but I stiffened it up with kevlar/fiberglass body putty. If I were to make another one, I would use a sheet of 1/8" aluminum. I don't have a radio, so that's not an issue.

 

Sorry I should have mentioned yes its for a FB. Also like I said I would make one, but I would like to see if there are other options first because I don't have alot of free time to take on such a project lately. If it comes down to it I may have to though.

 

that doesn't look black anodized

 

It was 'black' 20 yrs ago when it was installed. As you can see, it's faded some over the years. The coating is definitely black anodized, and not paint.

 

Yeah, Akiratdk makes a 3-guage 1-din dash kit for the S3 ('84-'85) FB, and I think the S2 ones are almost ready too.

Speaking of which, I wonder where mine is... it's been in transit for a while... Stupid postal system *grumbles*

Jon usually knows where to get all of the good parts, oem or aftermarket. I forgot about that one. I've been thinking of making a new one with the extra aluminum treadplate I have leftover from covering the shop floor. Bling.
