Guy,
Try John Bell (jbell959) on Pelican. I think he may make a small batch of these in the next month or two. It will help if you have any of the cores (good 914 fuel gauge case, oil press & temp pods), but not necessary I don’t think. Good luck! |

What is the history of these combination gauges? Were they factory for 914s or were they aftermarket? If they were factory, what years were they available?

The 904 had a triple gauge. The 914 never came with one, but 3 of the individual gauge components will fit in a modified housing, so the face plate is the only part that has to be made to build one.

I've submitted the Google form that John uses, I haven't heard back yet.
I've got a factory gauge from a six, but I was trying to avoid using that as a donor. QUOTE(bahnzai @ Mar 5 2022, 07:13 AM) Guy, Try John Bell (jbell959) on Pelican.

Guy, Don't use your original 6 gauge as a core, it is too rare. We can find a 914-4 fuel gauge core if John does not have one. That is the easy part. I think his price depends on what all you supply. Also he only builds them a couple of times a year when his son is home to do some of the specialty work. |

I've contacted John and he's putting a gauge together for me. I'm now looking for cores, John has presented a couple of options.
"Option 1: Use a pre-74 silver button 911 Oil Temp/Pressure Gauge and a 74-on 914 fuel gauge. Option 2: Use a pre-74 silver button 914 Fuel Gauge and a 74-77 911 Oil Temp/Pressure Gauge Option 2 makes for a little cleaner gauge but it's getting hard to find the 74-77 911 Oil Gauges for a reasonable price." I've seen some nice looking examples on eBay, but all I need is a core and I was hoping for something less than $250 for the 911 oil temp/pressure gauge. I'll post something a little simpler as well. |

I'm working with JB, too, but on a dual gauge (adding oil pressure to my fuel gauge in place of the parking brake and making the parking just a round light like the G and oil lights. I already have a temp gauge in my center console and like the idea of being able to keep the console stock and swap a stock fuel gauge back if I ever want/need to flip it back.

I've made many of these. They were never factory. There was once upon a time a 914 gauge, but that's not really what I've assembled.
I start with a stock fuel gauge and stock 911 temp and pressure gauges. I make a faceplate with windows for the idiot lights and the faces of the fuel-temp-pressure. I use the standard VDO lights and light tubes so they look like they could be stock VDO gauges. I like them and still have some plates left over from when I had more time. They tend to be on the pricey side so they don't sell well, and donor gauges seem to keep going up in price. There are many options including rotated numbers, no numbers, etc. I've done some that had different temp ranges and different pressure ranges. Never knew there were so many versions of the 911 temp and pressure gauges. Here is an example without silver center and with just the standard faces of the 911 donor gauge used.  I doubt I will have time to make a gauge until fall 2022. |

The gauge panel sitting on the red 962 bodywork is one that Timmothy made me from John’s kit. If you add up the cost of the kit, the gauges and the labor, it’s not hard to see why the gauge companies are charging $1k for a triple gauge.

I'm gearing up to build another batch of triple and quad gauges. I'd like to finalize a list before Thanksgiving so I can have all the parts machined over the holidays and build the gauges in Jan/Feb.
If you're interested in a quad or triple gauge please fill out the form and I'll get back to you with an estimate and any questions. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe...orm?usp=sf_link Here are some from the last batch. Attached thumbnail(s)
