I have made a couple of 69 dash inserts with different dash configurations to accommodate electronics, here's one that is all fiberglass

Does anyone know of a 69 Camaro dash insert that will accept a Dakota Digital VHx-1100 cluster?

http://www.dakotadigital.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=product/product_id=878/category_id=69/mode=prod/prd878.htm

From what I've gathered the DSE insert's gauge area is too short to accept the 6" height of this cluster.

Jeff,
I would love the VHX-1100 too. I currently have the DSE dash insert. But it looks to me there isn't room between the top of the dash & the steering column no matter what insert, so I don't see how the VHX-1100 will work in our '69s. It's not even close. Unless someone knows something I don't, I'm thinking the VHX-1060 is the only answer. But not nearly as much info or as cool. I hope I am wrong.

Anyone?

Fair enough Bill, thanks for confirming.

I know many are using the Racepak dash with the DSE insert as it's only 4" tall, but I like how user-friendly the VHX packages seem to be, plus the look is a mix of modern and classic.

I'm pretty sure the Marquez Design people have a dash for that cluster....
See the ridetech camaro.....

Hi Randy,

You're correct in that if you use a complete marquez dash assembly (like the Ridetech car does), that there is a VHX panel that will fit in the opening. It's still 7.25" high, so definitely would have the interference issues associated with the 1100 discussed above when being placed in a stock style dash with flat insert (DSE-style.)

More to the point, I'm probably not looking to go full custom with the dash like the marquez unit. In addition to budget, it pushes you into using other door panels and really going to that custom style. I kinda like the stock-with-a-twist style...

Hey Bill, would the 4.4" height and 11.4" width of the display below fit in your DSE insert?

I'm thinking of maybe going that route...
