I was looking at a pinned thread in Originality Thread about the differences between the 914-4 and 914-6 and I didn't see anything about the gauges.
Some time back I bought this combination gauge that is for the 914-6. I was told it was specific to the 914-6. It has a part number - 914 541 101 10

I have decided not to use it in my conversion (not enough information for me) but before I sell it, I thought I would put it out here for discussion. Is it really specific to the 914-6 and not the 914-4? If so, it is a difference that wasn't previously mentioned in that thread started by SirAndy.

Did you post it in the Originality thread.

Yes sir. Last post in the pinned thread that SirAndy started on the differences between 914-4 and 914-6...

It appears that your gauge was offered in the 2.0 liter /4 that did not have the appearance package also....as well as the six.

So, a slight difference.

I'd say more than slight if it was only offered in the subset non-appearance group 2.0. I've not seen a lot of non-appearance group 2.0 cars....

I had two pass on through here, so I have two of those gauges on the shelf.
Was planning to make a quad gauge.....someday

Nobody would see it there!

Eric, you're absolutely correct.
I recently added some items to the "different on a six" thread.
I'm sure it will languish unseen at the bottom of that thread forever.
Can there be a mechanism to bring attention to new additions ?

Rory,
My mechanism is to put it here too!

That thread is so complete that it is exciting to find something that isn't included!

While there was a combination gauge offered with the 2.0 without the appearance group (center console), as my Dad's car did when he purchased it from a dealer in 74, at least, the 74 2.0 combo gauge did not have the colored bands on the temp gauge, and the icons on the idiot lights are different.

I have had some of the early 914 combo (temp/fuel) gauges and the ones with silver centers look similar but there are at least 2 different versions. Similar to the early non-combo fuel gauges, some of the early 914 combo (temp/fuel) gauges had the icons in different orders (locations).

Sorry, but I don't have pics of the differences. I may be able to find a pic of a 1974 914 combo (fuel/temp) gauge that I can post when I get home from work.

I'm interested in hearing about the silver-center combo gauges with oil temp. Any idea what car they came out of? Could it have been a special-order 73 2.0 without center console? Or from a 1.7 that actually had a temp gauge without a console?

I had figured that all of the silver-center combo gauges that had oil temp were out of 914-6es, or had been modified.

Has it sold yet?

Posted by: ConeDodger Nov 11 2013, 06:15 PM

Twice. And unfortunately I only have one.

Posted by: Eric_Shea Nov 11 2013, 06:17 PM

Can I then move this to the classifieds where it should have been in the first place?

Posted by: ConeDodger Nov 11 2013, 06:24 PM

It's in the classifieds. that's where it sold from.

Bitch don't make me put on a pink shirt and fly over there!

What? Oh, sorry. Salmon.
