I'll try 1/2" and 3/8" ply and see which looks best. I'm assuming the hinge is brass and not 'electrobrass', which is a yellow-plated steel hinge.
Just off to the piano shop!
Chrome plated hinge. I have not checked to see it is chrome plated brass or steel. Fixed to the dash with 4 BA X 43/64 chrome plated brass raised counter sink slotted screws, blue steel split spiral lock washer, and chrome plated brass one end only chamfered (machine from hex bar stock) hex nuts. (Screws and washers are the same as fixing Terry's clips in place but in those applications the one end chamfered nuts were bare steel.)
