It'll be at least $400. Way expensive for what it is, IMHO. Once upon a time, someone made a kit to assemble one of these yourself (front bezel all powercoated and silkscreened, and a back plate; you cut the OEM gauge back yourself and aquired gauges used). For some reason, I thought this person was Mueller, but my memory is vague and this was 5-6 years ago. I had one of these kits, but never assembled it and sold it with the car I bought it for.

A much cheaper alternative is to use a 911 oil temp/pressure combo gauge ($40-50 on ebay), and put the 914 fuel light in the slot where the oil pressure light goes in the 911 gauge. You lose the fuel gauge, but at least you still know when you're low on gas, and if your trip odo still works, it's a great indication of how much fuel you still have once you know how far you can usually go on a tank.

You also lose the brake warning light, but frankly, if you don't know the handbrake is on, you need help. Having a light tell me my brakes have failed seems superfluous, as well.
