Here is the one I made in 2002 for my car. It is still in there and working fine.
I cut the mount off a 4 cylinder column, and welded it to a 911 column. I had to trim the front edges of the clamshell to get them to fit, and I have to remove the clamshells to get the tach out of the dash. I also trimmed the 911 key bezel down to fit in the 914. |

[I also trimmed the 911 key bezel down to fit in the 914. How did you trim the bezel ? I need to do that..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) 1. Made a fixture for my drill press to hold the bezel. A couple of washers that would fit inside and an 8MM bolt. 2. Used tin snips to cut down the bezel close to where I wanted it. 3. Mounted the cut down bezel in the drilll press. 4. Spun it round and round while using progressively finer files. 5. Finished it off with a progression of finer and finer sandpaper. That's about it. Simple, no need to get fancy. |
