Default Identify this dash blank

Forget the skull

What was used here to make this gauge blank

Could it be the back side of a speedo handle bar cup bolted to the hole?

Yeah. I'm thinking it's the back of speedo bracket too

I need to find a link for the back bracket that doesn't have a milage reset hole

So it would have 2 bolt holes and a small pun hole on top like the picture above

Your idea is a little cleaner actually...the piece is raised and not perfectly flush, and I eventually painted the chrome bolts black.
