M20J beveled instrument panel

[blaine beaven]

Hello all, I am getting some avionics work done this winter on my 1978J. My panel has the old leatherette finish on it. I intend to cut new panels as I’m rearranging my gauges in a unique way. 
 

The far left has a small subpanel with the ammeter, clock, and ignition switch. It is angled from the main panel. Has anyone gotten rid of this subpanel and just had a larger main panel without the angle? Is it a big job, or require any special tricks? 
 

Thanks in advance!

See if @Speed Merchant is around… 

If I recall correctly… he refreshed his M20J as if he was building a new plane… fancy switches and CBs to finish the job…

Best regards,

Yes, this is my 78J, not a big job, there’s no structural support behind it.

I like the cute little white switches way over on the left hand side; what type are they?

They’re C&K mini rocker switches.
