Default Charging Switchboard No 1

I picked up some stuff in town to reproduce a switchboard. The panel piece is 12" square and the sides are 3" deep. I guessed that the panel is recessed 3/4" and went from there.
The toggles on the switches are the same size and shape as an ordinary household light switch. The bolts that hold the cover plate to the switch are the same spacing as the top switches on the switchboard. Some hardware strap hinges are the proper size too.
I ordered some nylon shoulder washers and knurled thumb nuts off ebay and am watching for some 25 amp or volt gauges to show up. There's quite a few outfits that made analog gauges that would work.
The terminals for attaching wires are 1/4" NC by the look of it.
