Thanks, it only took around 2 hours for me to remove the interior and install the new one.
And no I don't have the 10mm spacers anymore.

Custom Dual Vent Gauge Pod
So yesterday I decided I was going to make a Custom Dual Vent Gauge Pod....
Here's what I started with...
Name: SOhLQs.jpg Views: 15 Size: 2.0 KB
Name: hbFNWs.jpg Views: 15 Size: 2.4 KB

Here's everything molded together initially before filing and sanding...
Name: PvqVes.jpg Views: 15 Size: 2.3 KB
Name: OV0GCs.jpg Views: 14 Size: 2.4 KB

Test Fit...
Name: Gl0GGs.jpg Views: 15 Size: 2.2 KB

Pics throughout the process, thought I had it finished yesterday, then test fit it again today and decided I didn't like the angle of it, so I cut the vent and gauge pods apart to angle it more towards me for a better view of the gauges, didn't really take pics of that part though...
Name: 3wlb8s.jpg Views: 15 Size: 2.1 KB
Name: x0xpts.jpg Views: 15 Size: 2.3 KB
Name: n6aoHs.jpg Views: 14 Size: 2.1 KB
Name: DcGLis.jpg Views: 15 Size: 2.2 KB
Name: aLyics.jpg Views: 15 Size: 2.3 KB
Name: sUwCDs.jpg Views: 14 Size: 2.3 KB
Name: QExrps.jpg Views: 15 Size: 2.2 KB
Name: N1mOBs.jpg Views: 15 Size: 2.1 KB
Name: nJ9FQs.jpg Views: 14 Size: 2.1 KB
Name: nHNH7s.jpg Views: 15 Size: 2.2 KB
Name: 7damcs.jpg Views: 14 Size: 2.6 KB

And now for the finished product...

Yea it is, It worked amazingly well... The amount of time you have to work with it is awesome, like 2-3hrs and it's like working with clay. It takes 24hrs to fully cure but I found if you put it in the oven for 10-15min at 100 degrees and then let it sit for 20-30min to cool, it's basically cured and you're able to work with it, as in sanding and filing it down.

Oh and Thanks Greg because I got the idea to use it from your thread.
