Vintage USA evidently does not have anyone who can do these gauges anymore.
Just wondered if there was another source. Thanks Chris |

Wow, thats a shock! They made really nice ones. Have you talked to Mark personally? I think he could still help you out if you provide a core....I would be sad to hear these are not around anymore. The other places are nice too but much more expensive.

The other places are nice too but much more expensive. Yes it was Mark who responded to my request, per my build thread I have found some alternatives which will work just fine. Mark's are nice because they are a twist on the original design, bummer, but my money is going elsewhere. |

I also talked with Mark about a month ago, he said they were just too busy with other things. Great guy, but no more gauges.

This is from Sawtooth's thread.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-9211-1305617964.jpg) [/quote] Gauges are from Speedhut Revolution series, I mocked mine up with paper cutouts and I am going with the 4.5" tach and some other minor mods. I will be ordering mine this week. |

I do however really like the modern look of those Speedhut gauges in the photo. Dean (sawtooth), did Speedhut have the Porsche logo in their menu of custom options, or did you provide you own?

Damn, that's too bad. Glad I bought mine last year before I actually needed it!
