Default C2 Heater Delete Panel

Does anyone have a picture of a heater delete panel taken from the engine side? Also, does anyone know the total thickness of panel? I see it has an outer lip that raises it from being flush with firewall, but wondering how far the lowered center section sticks out on the cabin side of the firewall.

Thanks Harry. Looks like it goes inside deeper than I thought.

You definitely don't need a heater in Texas. But, I would never drive any car without A/C in Texas.

Lol. Actually I was thinking of using that panel to cover the hole for the vintage air install but I think it will go in to far on the inside.

Chris,

That panel looks pretty symmetrical . . . could you mount it the other way with the indentation facing forward? Just a thought.

I thought about that but it actually has a lip on the edge of about an 1/8” I’m guessing that would then go the wrong way. I was kind of hoping someone may have had one in the parts collection that could measure but knew that would be a long shot.
