[MBZ] DIN instrument panels?
Anyone know if anyone makes an instrument panel that fits in a radio DIN slot? It occurs to me that since the old analog phone in my E420 no longer works, I could scooch the radio into the bottom slot behind the door, scooch the A/C control panel down into the middle slot and put in some analog gauges (oil pressure, voltmeter, ammeter) into the top slot...

You can definitely get plain blank filler DIN panels. People who strip their cars of unnecessary weight for racing, or replace a factory double-DIN stereo with an aftermarket single-DIN one, use them. Then cut your own holes with a plumber's hole saw. Most aftermarket gauges i've seen are a standard size. 1 3/8 IIRC.
