I would like to upgrade the 12 volt distribution panel on my '79 CD 28. The existing panel is an odd size in that it is 6.75 x 13.5 inches, wider and/or taller than all the ready-made panels that I have seen (e.g. Blue Seas makes a 10 breaker beauty with built-in volt and amp meters, but it is only a little more than 5 inches wide). Is there a drop in replacement? What have others done? Thanks.
