You'll get a better response if you post in the Garage. This section is for vendors to post ads.
What you're looking at is a replica 904 gauge cluster. PA and NH Speedo both make them, and there have been kits available in the past to make them yourself. A search here for 904 gauge will give you a good bit of detail. |

i'll chime in, as i recently purchased and installed one in my '75. while not exactly identical in appearance to the old "904" kit offered by pelican, the basic information display is the same: oil pressure, temp and fuel level.
when i decided to buy one, i called both pa and nh. i found the prices at pa to be cheaper by almost $100. the reason for this is that pa includes the oil pressure kit (sender + hose), while nh did not. the gauge from pa cost somewhere around $425 i think. overall, i'd say it's a very nice gauge. they do good work and can customize it a bit for you, i.e. needle color, silver center dot, etc. i also had them add a fuel level "warning" light, which i would probably undo if i had the chance. i can snap a pic if you like.

Palo Alto does nice work. Rescreened Tach to GT specs. Rebuilt internals to be compatible with modern tach. Repainted needles to match car... added silver outer rings. Both places can do about anything you want.... even add internal LED lighting. |

It's easy to make links in your posts....click the "http://" button and type the link in there. Hit enter, then type the page name and hit enter again. I did it for you on this one. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |

here's a pic of mine installed. as you can see, i had them add a "low fuel" warning light, though i may send it back and have that feature deleted. although the indicator is round, the light appears like a half moon, as if there's something in there between the light source and the indicator lens. looks a little weird, so i'll probably get if fixed some day. got other things to do these days though, like bodywork and paint.

Why not turn that 4-hole ring into a 4 gauge dial?

the 4th ring has bulb indicators for generator, oil,& gas res. the large Amber light is a brake light and the large Red is additional Oil light because of the Turbo.
Bought the 904 gauge on German Ebay. |

I love mine. Pretty sure I got it from PA Speedo. I too ordered from whichever vendor included the sending units with the gauge. I was pleased with the workmanship. I think you'll find both Hollywood and PA do nice work.
