W123 ashtray gauge panel
I have had this panel for awhile now but I finally took some measurements so others can copy the design.
The top width is 7 7/16", bottom width is 6 5/8", height is 3 3/8", sides form a 93 degree angle with the bottom. I used aluminum to make the panel and secured it to the removable metal ashtray surround using stainless sheet metal screws. If using mechanical gauges you may need to cut a hole in the back of the ash tray area to run the lines through, however this should not be necessary if using electrical gauges.
