AHHHH thank you So if you want one you will have to deal with Dan AND supply the 911 components?

[Dr Evil]

Yup, I strictly do assembly.

Rich, I few years back this kit was offered I think for around $100-150. It was basically a backing plate and face plate with instructions on how to take a 914 and 911 combo gauge to make a 904 style gauge. I have assembled a few and loved the whole package/kit idea. I have the plans thanks to Aaron Cox and this summer will be re-tooling R&D the kit to make another run of them. it will cost $$$ and I don't really plan on making any real money from it. Really just want the kit availble again. Even with buying a used 911 combo gauge and this kit, one should be able to put a 904 kit together for under $200.

My goal is to offer the kit for under $150.

I would suggest modifying the backing plate so that the fuel gauge part can use the standard later (72+) fuel gauge modules. To do that, you drill holes in the same pattern as those used on the other two gauge modules (oil temp & oil press) but rotated around the center of the backing plate to the position for the fuel gauge module.

Finding the early gauges can be a bit of a pain, and having to de-solder and re-solder them is definitely a pain. If you make the above mod, you can use the later style bolt-in fuel gauge module. You wind up needing to use the 911 gauge housing as the housing for your new combo gauge, but that's quite easy to do anyway.
