Thanks to Phantom Chaos (Nort) for the pre-fabbed blank dash panel, Wags382 (Jeff) for the measurements, and Lynn for the layout help.

Can't wait to get this project finished and back in the boat!

Reggie's dash is fine......your just not cool enough to own one :p

Re: New Formula 382 Dash
 

Thanks Trout and Robert, too! I wasn't sure how this would come off, but I must say I am really starting to like it.

It seems a little cleaner than the factory layout with the GPS in the middle.

I think it also allows for quicker scan of the engine funtion guages with them closer together like this.

Now I just need to get my glass guy to fill-in the old holes!

Re: New Formula 382 Dash
 

BIG improvement over the factory gauge layout!!

Re: New Formula 382 Dash
 

Thanks, Fred! Maybe I should apply for a job with Formula! :D

I might be able to have more of these panels made up if there are enough other people interested.

This was actually the original lay-out with a Raytheon GPS unit from the factory. The Garmin 182C is much bigger, too big for the center location. Fuel pressure guages (R lower) and 120 m.p.h. liquid speedo were added by the previous owner for blower motor application:

Re: New Formula 382 Dash
 

Maybe if Nort's gauges were like that he could see better :bunny:

Re: New Formula 382 Dash
 

Decided to put the fuel pressure guages back in the holes:

Re: New Formula 382 Dash
 

Used flat bezels instead of the angled bezels so I can still tilt the dash forward for servicing:
