A 1972 914 1.7 I now have requires registration here in Western Australia. There are several changes I need to make in order to do so. One is the speedometer must read in KPH or have both MPH and KPH marked on the dial. This car has part No. 914 641 505 11 for 155 x 15 tires fitted reading to 120MPH.
I see heiler-tachodesign have a gauge face reading to 200KPH for sale. It would require a bit of fiddling around to fit. I guess the alternative is to buy a complete metric unit from Europe somewhere. Perhaps if I got hold of an old MPH dial or speedo and repainted the calibrations to metric units and put that in to get through rego. Anybody got any other ideas or useful suggestions? Cheers. |

Hey, are there no gauge faces left down under? Not even one??
I just finished my gauges with heiler-tachodesign faces. I choose the silver buttons for my electronic speedo and the 911S tach for my mfi. Also I put the old style temp face in. The surface is perfect the letters almost the same, with small deviations - very small. But... it is a 2mm polycarbonate disc. This is not deep dished like the original. You will have some different lighting in the night - So it is better illuminated than the other old ones. I put also a set of led`s in. If you need a face with mps and kmh it is absolutely tooo expensive at heiler-tachodesign. Sorry, I haven`t left one for you. My old one is a 260kmh and won`t fit. CheeRS Dirk |
