Default Gauge panel

Does anyone make a plate for 2 gauges that will fit where the ashtray is ? I would like to install a trans oil temp and a engine oil temp gauges in that space.

I don't know if any vendor sells such a product, but I've seen plenty of creative members who've added accessory gauges there.
Pick up some 1/8" thick ABS plastic (sign shop, hobby or craft shop). It's easy to use in fabrication for mock up or permanent use. It'll match your oem radio surround trim pretty close with the grain side out.

I went through that site...neat stuff...saw round and square gauges but no gauge panels as the original poster was asking about, only switch panels (which are really nice)...I may have missed it.

Shoot Cajundude (Forum Vendor) a PM if thats similiar to what your looking for. You will have to trim the console for the gauges to fit.
