The Fesler USA 1968–1972 Nova fiberglass dash cluster insert is a hand-laid panel that drops directly into the Fesler Nova dash overlay with minimal trimming. Upper section measures 23.5 inches wide by 6.3 inches tall — wide enough for a full Dakota Digital spread or your own custom gauge layout. The lower section handles headlight switches, wiper controls, a radio, billet AC vents, or nothing at all. Pairs with the Fesler Nova dash overlay for a cockpit that looks nothing like any Nova on the road. Also fits the 1969 first-gen Camaro alongside the Fesler Camaro dash overlay with minimal trimming. Raw gel-coat ships ready for paint or upholstery.
23.5" × 6.3" UPPER GAUGE SECTION. CONFIGURABLE LOWER SECTION.
HAND-LAID IN PHOENIX. BUILT TO TRANSFORM THE NOVA INTERIOR.

Why builders choose the Fesler Nova cluster insert
- Hand-laid fiberglass construction: Every insert is built, inspected, and finished in our Phoenix shop. Not injection-molded. Not sourced overseas.
- Purpose-built for the Fesler Nova dash overlay: Drops directly into the Fesler dash overlay (sold separately) for a clean, integrated cockpit. No fabrication required when the two are used together.
- Wide upper gauge section: 23.5 inches wide by 6.3 inches tall. Fits Dakota Digital multi-gauge packages, custom aftermarket clusters, or your own gauge arrangement.
- Configurable lower section: Headlight switches, wiper controls, radio, billet AC vents, or keep it clean. Fesler can pre-cut openings before the panel ships.
- First-gen Camaro crossover: Also fits the 1969 Camaro with the Fesler Camaro dash overlay with minimal trimming.
- Gauge install service available: Order with gauges and we can mount them in-house before the panel ships.
Panel dimensions
Read this before you wrap.
Wrapping the cluster insert is not recommended unless both the dash overlay and the insert are test-fit together first and the thickness of your wrap material is accounted for on both pieces. These panels are designed to be used with the dash wrapped in leather and the insert painted. Wrapping the insert without considering material thickness against the dash opening will cause fit problems. Test-fit before your upholstery shop touches either piece.
What's included
- One (1) hand-laid fiberglass dash cluster insert, smooth gel-coat finish
- All hardware required for installation
Available via drop-down or by contacting us: Dakota Digital gauge packages, Fesler billet AC vents, gauge installation service, and custom accessory cutout service.
Not included: Fesler dash overlay (sold separately), paint finish, gauges (unless added), or close-out panel for factory dash applications.
Important: This panel is not sold painted or upholstered.
It is the customer's responsibility to fit and paint or upholster this panel to match their interior. See wrapping guidance above before sending to your upholstery shop. Professional installation is recommended.
Fitment
- Primary application — with Fesler Nova dash overlay: Drops directly into the Fesler 1968–1972 Nova dash overlay (sold separately) with no modification required. This is the intended and cleanest installation path.
- Factory Nova dash: This insert can be run on the factory dash. A close-out panel is required to finish the gap between the insert and factory structure. Fesler does not currently offer that close-out panel. It is a straightforward fabrication in metal or fiberglass.
- Also fits: 1969 Chevrolet Camaro first generation alongside the Fesler Camaro dash overlay with minimal trimming.
- Other dashes: This insert can be adapted to other dash setups. Modification will be required depending on the application. Contact us to discuss your specific configuration before ordering.
Building a 1969 Camaro? This insert fits that platform too.
This insert fits the 1969 first-gen Camaro alongside the Fesler Camaro dash overlay with minimal trimming. Both pieces were designed to work across the Nova and first-gen Camaro platforms.
Gauge options
The upper section measures 23.5 inches wide by 6.3 inches tall and accommodates a wide range of gauge packages. Fesler carries several Dakota Digital configurations that fit this insert directly. You can also run your own custom gauge setup.
Installation
- Install time: Approximately one hour to trim and test-fit. Relatively easy installation for anyone comfortable with fiberglass.
- With Fesler Nova dash overlay: Drops directly in. No additional fabrication required on a standard Nova application.
- With factory Nova dash: Panel fits but a close-out panel is required to finish the gap. Customer fabricates that piece in metal or fiberglass. Fesler does not currently offer a close-out panel.
- Wrapping: Do not wrap this insert without first test-fitting both the insert and the dash overlay together and accounting for material thickness. Designed to pair with a wrapped dash and a painted insert.
- Gauge install: Fesler can mount your gauge package and cut your accessory openings before the panel ships. Contact us before ordering to arrange.
- Professional installation recommended, particularly for gauge wiring, accessory integration, and final upholstery fitment on the dash overlay.
Shipping
- Inspected, finished, packaged, and shipped in-house from Phoenix, Arizona.
- If ordering with gauge installation or custom cutouts, lead time will apply. Contact us before ordering to confirm timeline.

No. This insert is designed to pair with the Fesler Nova dash overlay (sold separately) for the cleanest installation, but it can also be run on the factory Nova dash.

That close-out panel is not currently available from Fesler but is a straightforward fabrication in metal or fiberglass.

Wrapping the insert without accounting for material thickness will cause fit issues between the two panels.
