Default who makes those gauge cluster panels for autometer gauges

Thought I saw a few pics on here for some gauge cluster panels for auto meter gauges to mount in a camaro dash, who was the sponsor that sold them again? Thought some were sold blank and others had holes predrilled...can't find it now.

Don't believe so I poked around his site for 30 minutes and never could find just a blank aluminum panel or similar, his site seemed to be all overlays for stock gauges. Trying to knock out a 4th gen dash swap in my 3rd gen rather quickly before world of wheels in early march.

The one I remember like that was a forum member who installed the 4th gen dash in a 60 something camaro. Let me see if I can find the threads they are old though.

WOW, he's REALLY proud of himself for $175 a piece for $7 worth of aluminum and some time on a machine to make them. Nevermind, I have all the hole saws and can trace out a shape. Figured if it saved me a few hours I'd buy it, but that is out of the ball park.

I have the files written for them just haven't posted it for sale. I'll give you the first one for $40 shipped if you want it.

It is a 1/4" piece of ABS, cut to the shape of our cluster with holes to mount on the pegs...

SO, you take out your cluster, pop off the lens, pull off the gauge face (pulls right out with gauge motors) and pop this on in place. The circuit board on the back just pops off so you'll just have a shell with a blank piece of plastic. I'll post pics later...

This is all we sell @ 6LE designs. You need to cut the holes yourself. These are not on the site yet. We just took this pic about 2 months ago.

Unfortunately I don't have a stock cluster as I wasn't willing to pay what they go for used when I'm going to take it apart to toss autometer gauges into my swap for my thirdgen. Was trying to find a solution that involves just the panel if I could somehow.

Can you still pop the clear lens back on after you install the autometer gauges ?

How about $100 for the gauge plate and cluster in the pic?
