You can jam gauges into a stock panel, but they get stuck before they totally bottom out into the recess. I do, however agree that a substitute panel that would fit more than two gauges would be great. Chris, let's work on this together and git 'er done!
Matt, my intent was not to badmouth your piece. It is a nice piece for sure. I was just looking for something different, as you said, specifically for a panle that would fit 6 or 7 gauges total like the DSE 69 piece. I should have chosen my words a little more carefully. My apologies for that.

BTW, I prefer when the 5" aftermarket gauges are inserted from the rear on the stock 67-68 panel. The fit is much better IMO.
