Pulling a radio head and Raymarine radar/nav unit off the helm of my 2003 356. There will be a hole left after the install of the new equipment. What and where do I get and use as the filler to cover the space? Planned on having something custom cut to the shape of the space then cut new holes to install the new equipment.

I used a piece of Starboard plastic to overlay the dash and cut holes in it as needed.

All depends on the look you want. There's a company that makes carbon-fiber panels that can be cut to shape. Can't recall their name offhand, but I can search around if that's an interest for you.

I like stainless steel. Bought a 4'x8' sheet many moons ago and have been using it on a regular basis for the boat. Probably down to 2' x 3' by now. Sometimes I paint it so it fits better with the surroundings, point is it will never rust or crack or wear out.
