Electrical panel plate

[Roger]

I've just recently completed a major electrical system upgrade - leaving me with a 9" x 5" hole in my teak panel at the navigation area. I removed the old radio and now need to fill the space. Does anyone out there know where it is possible to purchase the 1/8" thick, crinkled black aluminum plate used by Hunter to mount electric components on the panel? Already tried Radio Shack-no luck.

Panel Replacement

On my electrical upgrade project I have used a black ABS plastic for mounting new breakers, meters, monitors, etc. It has the "crinkled" finish and is .125 thick. It is also very easy to drill, cut, etc. Each panel I had made at a plastic supplier shop was about $5 with .250 radiused corners. It was the closest thing to the original panel that I could find.
