Thought y'all might get some inspiration from this.

Finally got the temp and pressure guages in, and looky where they fit nice!
Below them are two toggles I installed, both lighted so as to not forget to purge, the green is for solenoids/fuel pump, and the red one is for the VegTherm-I wanted to be able to turn heat off for long idling situations, or running BD through the secondary tank.

Jimmy Joe,
HOW COULD YOU!
Tacky cheap switches in your 300D !!!!
You could get some MB rocker switches and install them with a small (1.5mm Diam) LED installed flush with the Zebrano above each. You could even have the rockers re-engraved to indicate the functions.
That would look schpick.

Seriously, Looks GREAT. I took out my Zebrano ashtray to install my Boost (fuel pressure) gauge and switch, and 2 Cigarette lighter sockets on mine. I used a steel panel and covered it with some blue vinyl from my parts car. Unfortunately, I scratched the woodwork on the console, but it has 2 screw holes in it from a PO, so I am not too concerned.
