All,
According to the parts catalog, the /6 combo gauge is part number 914.641.101.20. This is the only /6 combo gauge part number listed. Certainly, the parts catalog has its share of omissions, so I am not overly surprised at finding this... (IMG:http://p914.com/p914-resources/p914-gauges/p914-6-gauges-combo-10-number.jpg) Does anyone have any insight as to the differences between the ".10" and ".20" gauges? The only thing I see is that the ".10" gauge has off-white coloring for the face text and inserts. Also, it would be logical that the ".10" gauge preceded the ".20" gauge in production, so I was wondering if there was a specific VIN or timeframe changeover. Thanks for any info you may have... |

My 72's also ends with '10'. I see... Maybe the real question is, "Does anyone have a 914/6 combo gauge with part number 914 641 101 20? If so, what is the VIN and can you post a pic?" I'm sure it exists. As noted, it is in the parts catalog, and the 1973 /4 combo gauge is part number 914 641 101 30. |

Just because a part number is shown in a Porsche parts catalog? You been buying Porsche parts long? (Sorry - snide rhetorical question...) -I- would need more evidence. Could be Porsche just bumped the part rev so they could show the '.10' part as unavailable... Or it's in anticipation of the next buy from VDO. The Porsche parts catalogs are full of parts that don't exist... |
