Im hoping someone can help me out, im looking to reproduce the bracket that came with the original 1966 gt-350 paxton gauges, im looking for exact dimensions and any stampings and exact size of that. perfect situation would be someone that has a original one, any help would be greatly appreciated
If I am thinking of the ones that I have seen, you can find them used on Ebay.
Can't think of the brand name, but it is plastered on the inside of the gauge bracket, aluminum as I recall ?
Not sure if one was ever used that was a pressed steel?

EELCO is the name I think.
+1 THOUSNADS made in the '60s . Eelco name on the back side , polished , not chromed. They still show up at local swap meets out here in Ca. Eelco is long out of business after it's founder Ehls Lon passed.

Here is a similar gauge panel of unknown heritage (HEY!I resemble that remark!)... 5 1/2 wide by 2 5/8 tall, with gauge holes enlarged for 2 5/8 gauges.

The Paxton gauges, offered in the 60's, were typically sold with a cast aluminum bezel/housing that was manufactured by EELCO. The housing measured 6" x3.5" x1" with 2" diameter gauge openings.
