Center switch console

The FFR dash is ok, But I wanted a gauge layout a little closer to the originals.
From what I've seen all 6 of the original Coupes were a little different. CSX2287,CSX2300 and CSX2601 all had the Gauges upper/bottom row stacked directly on top of each other, and all had the speedometer on the passenger side of the dash except CSX2601 which had it in the middle located above the console. And only CSX2299 had the Tach and two small gauges "Staggered" over the bottom three...So my layout is kind of a combination of the CSX2299 Stagger and the CSX2601 center speedo. Another thing about the originals would be their smaller 3 3/8" Stewart Warner speed/tach and larger 2 5/8" SW sub gauges.

Here are the dimensions for my layout in the pic below

I had Russ Thompson bend up the first custom dash above. I was very happy with it until I burned though it trying to "alumaloy" a stiffener in the steering column slot.

In order to have enough room for the Tach stacked on top of the smaller gauges I increased the height of the dash face 3/4" to a 7 7/8" total and then raised the dash 3/4" for knee clearance by welding in another dash support on top of the one already there as you can see in the pic above.
