I bought one of these off of Ebay:

Just got it this morning. I needed it for another project, but it sure looks like it would work out SWEET molded into a Speedster dash, either in the center or the traditional place where the gauges fall.
There are also several stock extension pieces for either side that can be used on the sides of the pod or both sides if it's centered. For a center mount symmetrical application, get a set of American and a set of British side pieces I would imagine. Work out cool ! !
Lots of possibilities for the right modern Outlaw approach, factory design, well made and cheap.
I'm using it in the GT40 body dash for more of a supercar, less of a kit car look. Gonna get some Mini Cooper door panels next:

Which, now that I look at them, might ALSO be sweet for the right Speedster build . . . trimmed to fit, of course . . .
