Jon, don’t give up on me yet! LOL I bought a replacement dash panel, so I can eventually fix my screwed up dash. It also will give me a stock original radio opening to fit the 3d printed radio blank to. I’m getting one from Mongo and he switched labels on two orders. I ended up getting someone’s else’s part and they got mine. All straightened out, but I have to wait until he gets both parts back and he ships it out again. Should be here within a week. I’m going to use PETG to print the part which is good to 180°. I also believe it can be tempered in a oven to raise the temperature tolerance to over 200°. If that fails, I will experiment with other filaments that can withstand higher temps.

The beauty of a 3d printed part is, once you print a part that fits, it’s repeatable and easy to reproduce.
