help with Dash Differences

[jfive]

i have a 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger, 318. i have the longer dash and seems that there is nothing aftermarket to fit new gauges in except for the Intellitronix DIY setup.....not a huge fan of it really. while looking for a possible replacement i have come across other year dash bezel/gauge trim pieces that "look" to be the same style and/or the same size and screw hole placement. Are the 69 and 70 the same? what is the opening size for the cluster?

mine is the actual picture the other 2 are just what i can find that looks the same

In the same boat and the metal frames are different. The one you show with the 6 round gauges will not work unless you cut the frame open to clear the back of the gauges.

I ended up using the Holley 7" digital dash and 3d printed inserts to work with the stock frame and plastic surround. Even it was a squeeze. All in all there is no drop in solution like the other cars have.

have a link to the digital dash? any way to share the print file?

exactly how much trimming is needed to fit the other bezel?
how hard to use say... sheet diamond plate and made a cover/gauge holder? how is the mounting?

Its a total butcher job of the metal gauge holder behind the plastic and part of the bezel to make it clear. I have tilt column too, so not even sure it would clear a stock column tube.

This is the 7" Dash. They make a stand alone.
