Saw this on Ebay today.
Not affiliated in any way. Interesting and clean way to mount 3 gauges if 1) you don't have the under dash console like some 2) you don't mind losing your radio https://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-914-dash-3...SdR&vxp=mtr ![]() |

Mark - I wrestled with a digital dash and again, from a performance viewpoint - it the only way to go. From data-logging to programmable warning lights - there is a reason every serious race car has gone in this direction. Gone are the days that a dash has a tach and 2" warning indicators like a 917 - not in a fast car. Whatever is done, it is not a good idea (from a performance perspective) to pull a drivers attention/eyes down away from the road/windshield (peripherally).
For my display, I ended up wanting a custom unit with improved sigh (closer to the driver as well), with largely an analog interface for a classic aesthetic vibe . My car however, is as much hot-rod as it is race car. If it WERE an all-out race car - it would be digital all day long. The large AIM dash is what I ordered mid-project and then returned due to the whole classic feel direction. It would have been cheaper to stick with the AIM dash... Ultimately, my inspiration came from a Ferrari Dino (priceless of course) but I wanted to improve on the "sight line" within the steering wheel. I also opted to forego a tach - since it is unnecessary with a programmable shift light. Unorthodox? Maybe. Tony ![]() ![]() ![]() |
