Gauge Trim Template

Does anyone have drawings or sketches (templates) of the plastic gauge trim cover (see image below) out of the 80's Camaro? Trying to design my own gauge cluster and need some dimensions. Please let me know if you do; I know guys on here have been making replacements for the Autometer set up. I would trace and measure the part myself, but my 87 came without the original gauge cluster.

Classicdash.com sells blank templates that you can drill for whatever.

If the photo you posted is just for reference, since my similar part is currently uninstalled, I can trace the entire thing for you and just mail it to you if you need it.

Re: Gauge Trim Template

Actually guys, no worries; I found an old 3D model that I made for fitment reasons a while ago. Threw the drawing up on here in case anyone needs it.

Re: Gauge Trim Template

or buy one at a local junk yard for a dollar and trace it on to the material of your choosing.
