Volvo penta engine panels

[snowbird30ds]

Did VP ever do opposite handed engine panels at all? I'm looking to split the panels into separates to make my dash a bit more symetrical just wondered if there was ever an option, it seems crazy not to with all the twin VP setups around.
My engines are TMD41's.

Not sure quite what you mean by "Did VP ever do opposite handed engine panels " - my Antares with twin TAMD41s has the engine instruments mounted similarly to what Fred247 shows, but on one plywood panel (original): Large rev counter, with smaller water temp, oil pressure, and voltage gauges mirrored below (water temps in centre, then oil, then volts to the outside). If you wanted to have similar, or two separate panels, you could mount the instruments in any order you wish.

I will be doing my own layout as I'm changing the whole dash panels (due to years of changes to equipment) just never seen one of the original plastic volvo panels the opposite way round, just got to work out how I'm going to do the warning lights tidily.

I might be tempted with a pair of those when back in stock, I was going to use separate led warning lights (with shunt on alt light) and ditch the alarm test part just use the buzzer with a few diodes but mount the buzzer behind the panel to free up space.
Currently in the "blank cutouts with bits of dial sized cardboard stuck on" stage of planning, boat is still usable in minutes so I have all winter to work it out.

Do have 873396 which is a blank panel moulding without the electrics or front logos.

Any chance of you measuring the overall dimensions for me?

Thanks for that, much appreciated, that will be another pair of cardboard cutouts to play tetris with on my black panels.

Quite a few are aimed at aeroplane cockpits but are useful also for boats.
