Not sure what you are talking about, gaps?

In other news . . .

I need to get/make some new mounting plates for the instrument panel. The Honda stuff is different size/shapes, so most of the previous mounting plates need to be replaced. A few are staying ( GPS, Fuel Gauge) . . . I tried to find an exact match for the material, but struck out.
.
Helm layout with the Honda engines. I'll need to confirm things with the re-power shop.

.
Anyway . . . I decided to make all new instrument panel blanks and the re-power shop can cut openings as needed.

Here is my first attempt at the single by (Fuel Gauge) that will go in the upper right. (my handy work is on the right)

Gap . . .

1/2" gap it goes up about 1" . . . When I did the putty to secure the extension bracket, I made a gasket to prevent the putty from squishing out and falling on the ground. Accordingly, the putty squished upward, which I wanted. Going to fill the gap with VE putty and then scarf joint over.
