Blank Gauge Plate Template
For those interested, I have listed a template for the gauge plate on my website. Perfect for any one that wants to layout their own gauge setup. This has all the correct profile and mounting hole geometry.

Very cool.
....I'm going to be installing some Speedhut gauges once the LS swap is done. I may hit you up!

Re: Blank Gauge Plate Template
How thick is it? Can the windows for the warning lamps and indicator arrows be cut by hand?

Not sure how i missed your post.
The panel is 1/4" thick. You can probably cut those in by hand if you take your time. I use a cnc to cut everything out.

Re: Blank Gauge Plate Template
Any chance you'd be willing to make one for the GTA? Or know where I could find a DPX file for one?

Nope the white piece (cluster housing) as that is what is mounted to the dash with factory holes
