More gauge panels are done with new pics.

I have posted these before with one version, now I have 3 to choose from. I made these to see if they would sell and I ran out pretty quickly so I made more. For the guys that did not see these before they are for a 86' thru 91' FC that did not come equipt with a factory CD player. They mount the same way the factory stereo came attached. The gauge holes are 2 1/16 dia. and the stereo cut out will fit the standard single DIN size. I once again only have a limited quanity so its first come first serve. The price is $53 shipped and I accept PayPal @ BrianS2@ptdprolog.net if you are interested in buying one.
Thanks,
Brian

I would buy one but I'm concerned whether or not my Greddy 52mm gauges will fit in those spots. I know that the cuts are large enough for the gauge to fit through, but it doesn't look like there's enough room between the gauges to accomodate the slightly larger lips of the greddy gauges. Just by eyeballing it, it looks like the lips of two adjacent gauges would be trying to occupy the same space. If you could give me the measurement of the smallest distance rite between the two gauges, maybe we could resolve this issue. I'd really like to buy one of these it if will work. Thanks a lot.

Can you sell me one WITHOUT the guage holes punched yet? If you can't do it this batch, I'll pre-pay you for your next batch.

Thanks!

The distance between the holes is 0.250.

Hope that helps you.

Thanks,

Do you still make the carbon fiber radio surrounds that are flat with no holes or anything cut in them?

And those gauge panels Look really nice.

Well not to get anyones hopes up but a headlight kit is in the process. I dont know when I'll have time to complete it but when its done all you guys will certainly know about it. Im trying to make it for under $300 out of aluminum. I dont want to give away too much info.... try to keep it a secret
