sounds like you're looking for an inclinometer hood. you might try ebay as well as here.

you could also paint one of a different colour.

since you are mounting new instruments in it you might look around and see what other cars have something suitable to adapt. the inclinometer cluster is a highly sought after item and it would be a shame to gut a good one so you can mount some different instruments. It would not be that hard to make one up with dense EVA foam and cover it with vinyl you heat under a lamp (so it will stretch around the complex shape).

Can a non-inclinometer model (85+, right?) be fitted with an inclinometer taken out of an 83-84?
