One thing to learn about modifying your Magna... is that most things will have to be custom made :(

its not too hard to make your own if you have decent skilzz. I started making one for 52mm gauges from an old centre console and some pipe couplers.

This is as far as i got. Basically, i glues the pipe in with a hot glue gun, once i was happy with the position i stretched one of my girlfriends old tights over it and applied f/g resin only till it was rigid. Then i put chopped mat over that. I wasnt happy with how it looked to me, so i was going to start again, but ended up selling the car. I looked at making one for the ashtray section, but i dropped it and broke it. Wouldnt be hard though, and you have a 12v and light power source at hand without splicing into anything.
