I hate you right now just so you know I have to go buy more stuff because I'm stealing your switch idea

I feel bad that you must spend more money on your Jeep LOL.
Here is some help:
Gauge Panel Gasser Bomber Aviator Custom Aluminum 4 Bolt Dash Bezel 2 1 16" | eBay
Hot Rod Aviator Bomber Style Dash Panel Custom Safety Loops for Toggle Switches | eBay
this guy makes some nice stuff. I chose the four holed 2-1/16" bezels as they fit my stewart warner gauges and kinda looked like the speedo.
I have the drawings for the dash insert and the switch panel if you need them. I can export as a dxf, dwg and even a jpg if you want to make a paper template for drilling.

Another vote for Double D Fab. Here's the custom dash I recently took delivery of:
And the set of Autometer Custom Shop gauges that will go into it:
Note the Military style stencil numbers and letters.
Dan at DD FAB is a great guy to do business with.

- 'Gabby' 1974 CJ5, original AMC 258 In-Line 6. Working on trying to figure out what all is under the hood/body. . .
Just a tag onto an old thread, but I have not been on the forum in a longlong time and am super happy with my Double D Dash.
The gauges are from Autometer and there is a radio in there now (Gabby is 'finished')
Dan was great to work with- this was design #3. He is fast and professional! I love the little touches, like the Jeep grill and CJ5 cut outs over the speakers on the outboard ends.
I had him add blinker indicator lights and they are installed red and green- as a professional sailor this makes me giggle every time I turn

This is in the " Just cause you can , doesnt mean you should" category for me. It seems intrusive and doesnt really fit a Cj theme to me. Its yours though so do as you will.

I like it but worry about Vickies knee hitting that. It doesnt look passenger friendly.

Is that speedometer cable driven or GPS?
