I need some help.

I just picked up some seat frames/sliders/brackets and got some gauges in the deal as well. There seems to be different gauge bezels, speedos (with 120 and 150 terminal speeds), pointers with aluminum and black centers, and plastic and metal gauge holders/dash inserts.

Would anyone know (or have a link to someone/someplace) which gauge, bezel, dash insert design and such went with which year cars?

Any help would be great. Thanks!

I could be wrong, not an expert. The ones with black centers I think are the LE gauges. The gauges from 70-71 are 120 mph, and the 72-76 gauges are 150 mph

Cool,

What about the differences in the gauge bezels/surrounds and the plastic vs metal gauge panel?

Any idea?

Thanks

The gauge surround was changed from metal to plastic mid-year '74 Over the years there were many changes to the gauges.
A good reference is found in "The 914 & 914/6 Porsche:A restorer's guide to authenticity" by Dr. B. Johnson.

Thanks!

I'm ordering that book this coming week. I hear that it's beyond belief in the help and details that it provides.

The most obvious change--for the 74 model year, the silver cone in the center was removed. (Some early 74s do have "73" gauges.) There were smaller differences as well.

70-72 silver center gauges 120mph speedo - metal bezel - glass face
73 same with 150 silver center speedo - metal bezel - glass face


74 Black centers 150 mph speedo metal bezel - plastic face
75/76 same with plastic bezel and holes for smog idiot lights
