FSTGSR1 your too high tec for H-T LOL. I made mine with 1/16" pieces of aluminum plate, a 2 1/16" hole saw and a drill. CNC parts are nice but, your car won't have no soul if everything is bolt on or made by a machine.

I am a design Engineer. I have the ability to machine my own stuff. I however did all the fab work on my car. Don't be jealous.

I used a vertical mill to make the pieces that clamp it too the dash, LOL so I'm guilty but no... I don't have access to a NC your lucky. People that don't have access to these could just cut strips of metal tap them and use that to hold the part in.
When you use the holesaw on thin pieces like that, duct tape the piece to a 2x4 and go slowly to keep the saw from running out.
Lets see more pics of peoples set-ups home made or High-Tec, Honda-Tec like FSTGSR1'S

Whoop,Whoop, I'm very happy to hear that custom pieces make great eye candy!. The blue blockoff plate actually was a piece of a cnc circuitboard that I found when scrapping the machine out. The plain piece is just off the shelf from Menards, or Home Depot.

Check eBay, I just looked at these a few days ago. You can get single DIN panels with mounts for 3 52mm gauges for under $20.

i messed up my metal plate, not sure what material it is... but i think i'm gonna go with plexiglass next if i can get access to it.. much easier to cut with simple tools and stuff
