Maybe it would be better to ask elsewhere but perhaps someone here can tell me: regarding the earlier 911/912 cars that had fuel/temp combo gauges without the auxilary lights (Alt, Brake, Oil) - what was done to address warnings on these items? Maybe they were in the speedometers or other gauges? I'm doubting Porsche just skipped this, but then I'm not sure either.
Follow up to that.. is there a "good" solution for using one of those gauges in a 914? so, like maybe drilling small individual holes in the dash face for colored LEDs? Etc? My other thought is to convert a stock /4 gauge to include a temp gauge (similar to what the 914/6 had) ... but then, what's the solution for the red brake warning light? . |

I had a guy over on Pelican site build me one for my 6. I'm using a 914-6 GT fuel style gauge so went to the 911 oil temp/press gauge with a silver dot on it. It has the oil, gen and e-brake lights all on the same gauge. I'll post a pick later and the price was cheap compared to the big companies out there. I'll post his user name too. Just need to send him a core gauge for him to redo.
