I have a Getty dash on the way, thank you Jamie. I guess he pillaged it from one of the three dozen teeners he owned last year !

My question is: what guages should I use? My current set up has the three stock guages plus smaller ones including volt, temp, and oil pressure.

Second question (now that I'm on a roll): my speedo is frozen so I'll be addressing that during the project. Would it be better to just buy a used set of 911 guages? I would like to avoid a rewire if possible as I'm mechanically challenged.

Third, how do I incorporate all this with a lighting upgrade? :fishing:

If I were to just buy new guages that used my existing wiring set up, what would I be out?

What kind of sick sob knows the answers to these questions?
TIA

There are some of us that have done this exchange. Sick S.O.B????

First wait until you get the dash and see if it has the instrument pod container. You may have to build your own pod container depending where you want to put the gauges, etc. I have all 911 gauges. Enough for now!!!

Sick S.O.B.!!!!!

Bye for now and may you ponder, ponder, ponder, .... . . . .. ..Have a pleasant nightmare!!! More to come.

Seriously, I do enjoy my Getty dash and have always wanted to do one since I first saw the 914 in the early seventies. Do not be in a rush in doing the job and take your time in planning the layout including the wiring requirements. I put my gauges in the console: Voltage, Amp, Vacuum. The instrument pod: Oil Quantity, Fuel Quantity, Oil temperature, Oil pressure, Speedo, Tach, and clock. At this point in time I determined my wiring requirements along with the wiring for the front fans/oil cooler.

Hope that helps you get started.

I used the following, fromm left to right:

1. Combo voltmeter/fuel tank
2. Combo Oil pressure/oil temp
3. Tach
4. Speedo
5. Clock

North Hollywood Speedometer repainted all the dial faces to match the interior and the dash face was painted to match the car color.There are several threads from peeps that have done the Getty Dash installation

Good luck and enjoy

Make sure you get a type 2 clock, if you want future backlighting. The type one is damn near impossible to take apart without destroying.

Thanks, I'll make a note of that! Im thinking I need to gather a complete set then send them your way.

Jim, wonderful looking dash :drool:

Thanks for the input, I'll check out the post.

Yep, very helpful you sick SOB

When I get going ill start a thread to share the nightmare!

Jims car is wonderful all the way through!
