52 mm gauge hole plug?

I was just curious for those who might have a 3 gauge pod but did not end up using all of the holes if there was some type of plastic plug that could fit into the empty slots so it does not look odd. I picture it almost looking like a cap with a smaller diameter below that would click onto the gauge hole upon insertion. I looked around Menards tonight for some possible ideas but I may have to fabricate this myself if there is nothing out there. What do you guys think?

Before gauge panel


After gauge panel

If your in the 52 mm gauge area, im sure you can find the series of gauges you are using and get a cheap one and install it, a volt gauge comes to mind, even from the most expensive series of 52mm gauges, like autometer cobalts, they still have a volt gauge that costs like 60 bucks.

This place http://www.gaugepods.com/gaugegear.html has what you're looking for. It's a little pricey plus you have to pay for shipping but it looks clean.

Gauge Pod Plug Update

I just wanted to let everyone see what the plugs looked like put into my 42 drafts gauge pod. They ended up fitting perfectly, and upon further inspection, Irealized they were almost like camera lens covers!
