Anyone have this info?

Is there a VDO 2 1/16" fuel gauge that's compatible with a 914 fuel sender?

OK, I'll measure it myself.

4 ohms full-75 ohms empty.

Generally, you can use the 0-90 ohm stock and be very close. If you want it as close as you can get it, I know that either hollywood or palo alto speedo sells the gauge for a good price and will calibrate it for you. I think I paid like $50 including shipping. Maybe a bit less. All they do, though, is take the 0-90 and drill a hole inteh side where there is a mark to do so from the manufacturer and adjust the internal potentiometer. I think they charge like $10 to do all of it so it wasn't worth my time.

The VDO gauge for the VW sender is a good match.
