Made a plate out of plastic that matched the color perfectly, drilled a hole and kept enlarging it with a dremel until the gauge fit, anchored it with 3M double sided tape.

I made it out of the side of a plastic box. Already had the 'grain' llok to match. I've lost the reference but someone earlier posted a site that sells sheet plastic.

question BlaSSt?... how did you get the outter rings around your guages, to match the plastic you used... is that part of the materials you used, or is it different?
