QUOTE(gereed75 @ Jun 25 2015, 10:58 PM)  One bad thing is that the light holders do no ground to the back plate when epoxied back in. I am working that out. Solder a jumper wire onto the tube to the backing plate, simple and effective. |

QUOTE(gereed75 @ Jun 25 2015, 07:08 AM) 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 I really like what you did there, it looks great! Had a question, with the temp and pressure gauge at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock position, how did you make enough room for the fuel gauge to fit in the bottom 6 o'clock position? Did you move the temp and press gauge up a little? |

I love it. Been looking to buy a 3 gauge kit from John recently but not able to reach him. your gauge looks great! I am thinking cutting the window for the fuel gauge is probably the tricky part.

Wow!
Those look great. I de-crimp and recrimp the bulb holders onto the back plates I make. Then everything works as designed.      |
