Mounting Panel 2-1/16 1 Hole Black

The VDO Mounting Panel 2-1/16 1 Hole Black (part number 240-027) is a precision instrument cluster mounting bracket designed for dash-mounted gauge installations in vehicles requiring custom instrumentation layouts. Built by VDO, a trusted OEM supplier of automotive electrical and gauge systems, this panel serves mechanics and enthusiasts upgrading their vehicle's dashboard with auxiliary gauges, warning lights, or diagnostic displays.

Engineered with a 2-1/16-inch diameter opening, this panel accommodates standard automotive gauges commonly found in performance and restoration builds. The single-hole design simplifies installation while maintaining structural integrity, and the matte black finish resists glare and integrates seamlessly into most interior trim schemes without requiring additional painting or finishing. Measuring 5.6 inches long, 3.2 inches wide, and just 1 inch thick, the panel's compact footprint allows flexible mounting behind dash panels, under steering columns, or integrated into custom gauge clusters.

VDO's manufacturing standard ensures precise tolerances, so gauge fitment remains consistent and secure even after repeated removal or vibration exposure common in high-performance driving. This mounting panel is ideal for those fabricating custom gauge pods or restoring classic cars, providing a sturdy anchor point for single-gauge configurations.
