Built this combo gauge, Thanks Steve Options

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

Very creative look, and probably eliminates the wheel hiding the upper one on a quad gauge.

Used this classic thread as guidance http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...c=57909&hl=

Used a late 4 fuel gage like the one currently for sale on e-bay for $29.95 .Used the face plate out of it and the late style gauge module.

Combined that with an 80's 911 combo gage. Used the housing and gage modules out of that.

The lettering is dry transfer from Woodland Scenics ..... SKU MG738. Put each letter on separately but would probably lay them out on scotch tape first and then transfer to the gauge face. Quicker and better alignment.

Painted the face gloss black, put the letters on and then oversprayed with Testors Flat Clear to match the stock face pretty close. Had to trim the individual module face plates to get them to fit in this orientation. It's tight but works.

One bad thing is that the light holders do no ground to the back plate when epoxied back in. I am working that out.

Pretty easy once you get in there and work with it a bit.

Oh yea, for six guys, there is a spare wire that terminates at the combo gage. It is solid green and is there for a temp sender on Sporto models. It terminates back on the engine compartment relay board. I will tie into that for the connection to the sender. Saves running a new wire (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) .

Solder a jumper wire onto the tube to the backing plate, simple and effective.
