Hey all! I'm chasing some panels to replace the grilles on my '70 beetle dashboard (right and left of the speedo) suitable for fitting 53mm VDO gauges. Does anyone have any blanks with holes cut and ready for gauges, or know if these are available new? I could cut some wooden ones with the jigsaw, but aren't confident doing it myself with metal or other materials.

Those aren't just good, they're gorgeous!

Thanks so much for your help with this and my other question. Much appreciated. People like yourself are what make owning a VW such a pleasure.
