The dash panel in the Land Rover is a mess, holes and a random mis-match of switches.
So I'd like to replace it with just a flat panel which will carry a 85mm speedo, 52mm fuel gauge, 7 Lucas style flick switches, 2 rotary switches, 1 push button and a choke knob and that's it.
Just wondering if anyone might have any ideas to "jazz" it up a bit? Bear in mind it's a Series 3 Landy and I've got very limited facilities (basically a battery drill!).The dash section for this is 37cm wide and 18cm high and I guess because I can't do anything apart from make holes, it'll be a pattern of the switches and gauges.
I've done a couple of designs myself, but they're pretty boring.
Thanks

Might add an extra 52mm gauge... Given the history of this one, temp? |

Would brushed or engine turned aluminium be a suitable look? I’ve done brushed aluminum with a sanding block, but never tried turning. |

More thinking about the actual layout of switches and gauges. All the layout designs I've done just seem a bit boring, but maybe a flat sheet with a couple of gauges and 9 switches will always be boring if it's going to be usable?
