Hi guys i had a friend mill up a billet aluminium panel for me to mount my 2" autometer guages in my camaro a while back.

I have decided to go a different route and have now mounted my guages in black cups underneath the ashtray. It's a little more discreet down there.

So i have the panel for sale, including the Autometer angle mount bezels.

I have 2 of the aluminium plates, (got him to machine a second one while the router was doing its thing) and 1 set of bezels.

The alumium panel is precision cut on a $100k computer router, and features holes for 3 x 2 1/16th autometer guages, and a 45 degree champher around the outside edge. you could probably use a different brand of guages in the same size. To get this made up to this quality, you would be paying hours of labour time, and probably around $300.

I have a woodgrain centre dash panel that i spent hours trimming out the holes with a dremel, so this may be for sale also.

Make an offer on these parts.

Attached is an image of the guages sitting in ready for fitment. Sorry i do not have any images of them mounted in the dash.

I will include the autometer aluminium brackets for the back of the guages already trimmed to mount the guages, so all you have to do is bolt them in.

Any better close up pics? looks like it's set up for right hand drive? or do the bezels rotate?

the bezels would rotate no problem, so you could use them on LHD... They are an angled autometer bezel... i think they cost me $35-40 bucks for them....

Here is the link to them on the autometer page:

I can supply better pics of the bezel, and cups, but the dash panel is all mounted up in the car and i dont really want to pull all that apart again. (unless it sells as an extra item) I'm trying to put my car together more, not take it apart again. :)

I'd be happy to get $100 for the bezel and angle mounts, enough to cover the expense of the cups I bought to house the guages under the dash.

Rayman, nice setup. For a second I thought the $100 included guages & my eyes popped out of me head.. until my brain caught up! Haha..

Pretty interested in this panel, but are you saying there is hours of 'dremelling' to fit to another centre dash panel (if didn't want your wood one?).
Cheers, Deano

i'm very particular about the way i do things, and i wanted perfectly formed round holes behind it... You dont see the holes made, but i'm still fussy either way though.

If you cut the holes roughly, it wouldnt take all that long... I didnt want to use a hole saw as the aluminium panel is quite soft......

Hiya Rayman - Just a quick head's up that while I was keen on this cool guage setup, but new diff issue means some of the build luxurioes like this are on hold.. But I'm sure others will snap it up! Ta again for info.
