Nice.... Never seen one out, but I believe it needs to be drilled and attached to the gear surround with screws.

Speaking about gauge panels.. I made my own because I couldn't find original one. A Little asymmetrical maybe but it looks better irl than it looks on pics. :P I'm satisfied for the result considering the sophisticated tools I used.. A hacksaw, a power drill and a metal file.. :D

What do we have here.. A sheet of scrap metal. Perfect for making gauge panels for 300-series Volvos. :D

Bendend and sanded without paint

Finished panel without gauges

Paint looks better in live. :)

Thanks to Duvel for dimensions. :P

Now that looks nice, any pics of it in the car with gauges? Exellent stuff, I like creativeness to resolve problems, or rare items being scarce!
