I eliminated the speedo fuel gauge and speaker on my dash. You will need to cut a piece of metal to fit the hole and weld it in. It might be easier to cut the hole out bigger than just patching a butchered hole. Post up some pics so we can see what you are working with.

stretched l looked at the eastwood web page got some idea's l was thinking on what l stated about karmann ghia parts. good people, great

Do you have a welder? If not then unless you can borrow one you could replace the damaged area by pop riveting in some sheet metal. Then fill it in and sand it down. If your dash has a cover on it then pop riveting might be the way to go.
