Ideas neede to plug hole in dash

Post by truckjunky87 »

I just pulled the dash pad. Anyone done anything cool to plug the holes in the dash? I've been thinking about sometype of Aluminum finished plug or something. Just wondering what has been tried before and if anyone has any pictures to give me some ideas.

I'll get you some pics in the morning. i cut plugs out of left over floor pan, welded them in, ground them down and evercoated the hell out of it all. I think it turned out ok, but who the hell am i?

I'd like to remove the entire dash, and fab up an aluminum piece just for grins... all autometer gauges, 200 mph speedo... :wink:

I'm just useing a 120 anything after that Speed I dont need to be taking my eyes off the Road.... BUT I will have it going Past 120mph:wink:

The 4 small holes will have Warning Lights in them...Oil,Water,Shift Light and Fuel Press....You'll have to see it when I'm done.
