    I'm looking for an OEM center dash panel for a W9, around 1999.

    I need one with a speed, tach and pyro.
    My rig came with an autoshifter (long tossed out) but the shift indicator
    thingy is still there and I would like to replace it with a Pyro, but the current cutout is rectangle/square vs the round pyro.

    Any thoughts on a decent source?

    I know you've been to the boneyard before,i'd go back. Rockwood makes custom dash panels out of the wood of your choice. I'd be afraid to ask how much. Or if you could get a VIN off another KW,there's always your freindly neighborhood KW dealer. As i recall you and he are bosom buddies. Good Luck!

    I'm going to second the boneyard idea.

    As for the pyrometer, if it is recangular, you might have more luck with a digital unit over a dial type.

    Well just when I think KW can't get any stupider on pricing...

    $421 for that center dash panel.
    1/8" aluminum with a wood decal applied.

    I got the dash panel from 4 states. Little did I know there was a color change at some point.
    My dash has a rusty-red color to it (90s?) and the one I got was like Olive Brown (80s?)

    It's the right one, but the wrong color...

    Still searching...
