You can tack weld a small plate on the backside and bondo the front, since you painting it anyways.

Place elect. switches in the sm holes. Place a sticker over the large hole with your shift pattern of your D20. I orderd one of these stickers for about 5 bucks. Looks good

oval. but now i have another Question. i am going to use the same bezels and knobs but what kind of switch should i use??

you should be golden with any toggle switch that has a threaded neck. The more things change the more they stay the same. The threads on the inside of the bezels are the same size as those on the necks of the threaded toggles.

You can always find uses for toggle switches!!! Damn, I need to dust my dash!! The Mt. Watson trail really dusted me up!!
