I put this together for one of our 914World members. It slides into the ashtray rails, no fasteners or drilling holes required.
STL: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/2wnqiw1y1to6...75hgoj&dl=0 DWG: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/xlfj9la982y7...jl26rm&dl=0      Disclaimer: 1) Designed for 52mm VDO gauges only. The two gauges shown have different depths, though either gauge will work on either side, I have no knowledge if VDO has built gauges with different depths or stud spacing other than these two. The voltmeter is the deeper gauge and has a body depth of 34mm. 2) Pictured on a '72 model. I assume ashtray's & rails are the same for all years but I don't know that with certainty. Do your own diligence. Peace, Ron |

Very nice. If you are open to suggestions, the next version could have the gauge openings tilted towards the driver. I once made a sheet metal mount like that, and just a small angle made the gauges much easier to read.
