Check out my gallery. I used autometer/autoguages. They fit the holes okay, the faces aren't a great match but i love how they work and look.
Any questions.....let me know

Look at the online catalog for J & B Microfinish. They make an insert to fit in your stock panel. They offer them in either 5 hole or 6 hole and also in polished or satin finished. These guys have made parts for Ridler Award winners.
