Rick, It's a big panel and although I could always remove this one and glass over the hole, there's really no place to put a panel that big were it won't interfere with sheet bags, lockers or the aesthetics of the aft cabin.
If possible, I was thinking of just making a custom block of a few gauges, an ignition switch, a glow plug button and a starter button. I figure the only gauges I really need are fuel, temp and tach. Could even put the ignition, glow plug and starter inside the locker where I have the pull-stop. Could be so much more elegant looking. Especially with ivory or white dials on the gauges.

Can’t you just move the existing panel to a new location and glass in the old opening? Failing that, a Universal Admiral Panel is around $250 – I thought about upgrading my instruments when I installed the new bobtail engine in 2010, until I found out I already had the upgrade instrument panel. Can’t you just buy a new panel intended for use with your engine, install it, and fill in the old holes (assuming there are individual holes for the instruments, key switch, and assorted pushbuttons)?

I would like to use the existing senders (I work hard to remain lazy). So how would I test the resistance? Unhook the wires and check the ohms with my multimeter? Or can I test with them connected?
