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  |

"Line of sight"...LOL. What difference does it make in these apparent street oriented cars? The stock dash is highly insufficient if you are driving quickly on a track - and the limited feeback a stock dash can provide. The saving grace of most 914's is they're so damn slow - reading gauges while moving is a non-issue. Multi-gauges look good but are also short of being a real answer (for a fast car or driver). The best "performance" answer would be an electronic screen/dash...programmable warning lights and custom views that are all contained in one place.
Mike - Really? An A-pillar pod like a ricer...c'mon man! NO, please! Tony |

I didn't want a console or anything mounted under the dash. I had a working radio, and yes I used it, also an oil temp and pressure gauges. I didn't have to spend money on a custom gauge.
