Just built this combo gauge.
Thanks to Steve Snyder for sending the center button to finish it off. Used an 84 911 combo to get the temp and press modules and a later 914 fuel for the module and face plate. All off ebay for about $150.00. Used condensed gothic dry transfer lettering...fairly close match to the original size and font. A real PITA to put on. Not perfect but looks fine from 2 feet. Made a new back plate per the instructions in various threads on the site. Lots of little dremel cutting (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) The generosity and help from the World is really great!! Going out to install. Hope it all works Attached thumbnail(s) |

Gary,
Thanks so much for the additional info and insights. Where were you able to get the triple gauge face plate? Thanks again! Danny |

Gary, Thanks so much for the additional info and insights. Where were you able to get the triple gauge face plate? Thanks again! Danny looks homeade - in a good way. Danny, Used the fuel gauge faceplate rotated 90 degrees. What were the top and bottom window cutouts become the left and right cutouts. Keep the top center indicator light hole and add two more. I cut out the bottom fuel "TANK" window and rolled the edges down in an effort (imperfect) to replicate the VDO edge treatment. You can see some roughness in that edge as Mark so observedly caught (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Strip the original paint and markings, paint and re-mark as you prefer with the dry transfer letters Thanks all for the kind comments. Thanks Stephan for your great original thread (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) All looks good buried in the binnacle. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
