Hi Jeremy,
my tubes are about 75mm long and the steering column is mounted upside down (if you get me?)
I made up a hardboard template and kept adjusting it until I was happy with the shape and fit. Then I made stick on dials by print pictures and stuck them on with blue tack until I could see everything from the driving position. I transfered the postions to the carbon fibre/ali panel by drilling small pilot holes through both.
You might spot that the final design was diffrent to these pictures
I hope that helps/
