I decided one of the very last things I will probably do with my 240Z is replace the center dash area with a custom plate with switches and gauges. I started by getting the plate from Skillard, and made sure to spend the extra 10 bucks for the satin powder coating. Nice piece. I then went about taking measurements and figuring our just exactly how I wanted it to look, what I needed it to have and what would make it look cool. Earlier I had added 5 switches to the fuse box cover plate, and now that I am going to do this, I will move those wires up to switches, and eliminate those switches in the cover. Since that plate will now have holes, I will have to decide whether I wish to replace it with another stock piece, or cut a piece of aluminum to fit. Do any of you know someone who makes that plate? I asked Ben at Skillard and he doesn't. Anyway, I decided to go with the old fashioned toggle switches, and then in the space above it, I am going to add two 2 1/16" gauges I found online from "MaxTow".....apparently they are used by truck guys, but of all the gauges I found, they were the nicest looking .....in my mind at least. I spent some time tonight drawing out all the holes needing to be drilled on the back of the piece, and I am hoping that by going from the back out, the powdercoating will survive. I am also attaching pics of the gauges and switches I have ordered.....and another pic of the triple gauges I already bought from MilkFab....still waiting on my Knock sensor gauge to come in. Comments welcome. Cheers!
