Can you transfer a silver dot from a stock 914 gauge to a reasonably early 911 combo gauge w/o the dot? If so, can someone give the basic run down of how best to accomplish this task? Thanks.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) So easy to do, it is not even funny.
The Dr. loves Palo Alto, and he is 100% correct about the shaft sizes and the needle hole being different between late and early gauge sets on Tachs and Speedos. But the combo gauges, you just need to drill the correct sized hole in the proper location and install it. Hint if you do not want to try re-crimping the silver dot, the cap comes off and can be epoxied to the head of a machine screw. It is as simple as bolting it in place. I did a writeup on how to disassemble the combo gauge on this site. It is not hard to do, and I have shed more blood due to cheap computer cases than I have on gauges for Porsches. |
