FWIW would not be hard to make from some spare alloy sheet.

Some material from a fabric shop that matched the FFR pieces. Very thin foam pad, not necessary, under it. 99 spray adhesive. It's a press fit at the top & 4 screws to the tunnel at the bottom. Was in for 7 years when the pictures were taken. Lower picture in the first post shows it with a standard radio. Upgraded along the way to the satellite capable unit.

Current picture. It has held up very well as an almost daily driver

I used their center section as the basis for my extended dash, then riveted some custom curved metal brackets to transition from the center section to the dash for a smoother look. After wrapped in leather it looks seamless. The center section houses two speakers, my retro-looking bluetooth radio, my seat heater switches, my bypass toggle for the two heater coils, and the knobs for the dual heaters.
