My next area of focus was the Prius v gauge cluster. I again created a paper template, this time around the gauge cluster where it would intersect the all-steel Firebrid dash. Unfortunately, it is wider than the existing opening, so cut outs needed to be made. The area will eventually have a custom made cover over the exposed parts of the gauge cluster, but the first priority is to get it mounted and working before it is made pretty.
The cluster is only set in place for now. Brackets to hold it will be designed soon.
