NA6 Radio blank plate / Gauge holder / failures $5 shipped in the US
 
5 Attachment(s)
I drew up some center console radio blanking plates, and had them cut with my other ABS parts recently.
I measured wrong and I'm left with a pile of 20 of these. Hair cell on 1 side, shiny on the other.

The tabs are close enough to use with screws/ washers for the DIY type person.
Be sure your center console is the type shown with 6 mounting holes.

Gauge holes are 52mm, and laser cut halfway through. The holes can be 'popped' out with a mallet and screwdriver.
Like this:
$5 shipped in the continental US. No fancy shipping here, they're going USPS standard post.
Contact me if it's got to go out of the country - I'll check postage for you.

I'll subscribe to this post, but if you're interested, paypal to

REMEMBER, THESE MOUNTING HOLES DO NOT LINE UP. THIS IS FOR A DIY PERSON WHO DOESN'T MIND MODDING SOMETHING TO WORK!

The email address listed above has no spaces or underscores.
I put the " __at__ " to try and curb bots from pulling my address. It's just my crazy last name @ gmail.com

I got mine installed in about ten minutes. A couple little spots with a Dremel and I didn't even need washers. Looks great.

How did you attach it with misaligned holes? Pics would help the others, or at least a description?

Cool, glad you could use them! There are about 12 left.
The mounting tabs are just misaligned enough to insert the screw in and capture the edge. Dremel a bit for clearance.

Just a tiny bit of material removed right at the corner of the tab you can fit the screw in. Had to remove a bit from the edge of 2 of the tabs for width clearance as well.

Oh, that's worth a thousand words. Thanks, KasbeKZ! I'll probably get once after I sort out the new-to-me NA's interior this week.

I still have more of these.
