About a year ago, I spoke with Palo Alto Speedometer about their 914/6 triple cluster gauge. I assume it is still avail. Is there any other option to get a combo gauge for a 914/6 application with Fuel level, oil pressure and oil temp readings? I'm eliminating the center console in my car and would like one clean simple gauge if possible. I also saw the option of getting a standard 911 oil temp/pressure gauge and modifying a 930 tach to change the boost gauge portion of it to be the fuel gauge.
This one is my first choice... Just checking to see if there were options or anyone selling one similar. - Rich This would be my first option... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.paspeedo.com-18068-1601997930.1.jpg) These would be my 2nd option... Converting the Bar boost gauge into a fuel gauge.

Another option: depending on how period correct you want to be on looks; I'll be putting this combo of refurbished gauges up for sale soon. Lettering, scales and looks as per original GT spec., with the 10K tach replaced with Bosch internals. Repainted bezels on both, tested and ready to rock.
Doesn't solve your fuel gauge or speedometer needs, but could be an option to consider. - Tony  |

I have 911 gauges and VDO fuel gauge in the dash around where the cig lighter would normally be,easy to read and a good solution,was done by the PO. |

After posting a "how to" thread on the 10K tach I built for my car, I subsequently made a few others and found some eager buyers (on this site). Very much still in the hobby / part time realm for me, but I have done another batch, this time modifying a few oil temp / pressure gauges to match the GT versions. They are quite time consuming, involve multiple disciplines (metal work, electronics, paint prep, etc.) but the end result is quite satisfying. FYI, original thread is here: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=341379 - Tony |
