Does anyone have a part number for a 2 & 1/16" diameter console gas gauge that will correctly communicate with my stock 71 tank sender?

Steve (914-6 3.2 GT) on the boards here, was gracious enough to give me two of his unused gauges to try out. I now understand his magnanimous generosity ............. as neither works but both look really cool.... but thanks anyway Steve.

Here you go

Looks like this.

At least that is the one I think I used. Stole it from my Ghia build which uses the same sender as the Type 1

Thanks 914forme / I will see if I can isolate the VDO gauge picture you sent to the part number. I plan on putting it in the plac of my current center temp gauge now replaced with a 911 combo gauge.

I will update after I have a working gauge / I'm tired of the stinky stick gauge....

Call North Hollywood Speedometer, and see what they charge to put a fuel gauge in the tach (like a 930 boost gauge). Makes for a very clean install

Yeah but then he'd have to un-rotate his tach so the fuel wouldn't spill out of the gauge...

PO mounted 52mm VDO gauge about where the cig lighter would be,easy to read and I tested it after I had my tank out with a known amount of fuel,seemed to be accurate enough.
I do have an issue with my low fuel light but that will be sorted when I learn to stop putting my foot down so hard .

I found a brand new VDO gauge and wiring harness on, of all places, ebay, for 19 bucks shipped. I will install it today and wee where that 20bucks leads me...... thanks for the insight.

I think i will rotate the fuel gauge too.....

Is the gauge 0-90 ohms?

It is 0 - 90 or 90 - 0 ohms. The one will read backwards ( I think that's the GM style one). If you look on the VDO site, look for the one that works with the VW tube type sender as I assume that's what Porsche used. When I try to pull it up on the eGuages site, nothing comes up for that particular one, so I wonder if it's been discontinued. I have seen them on eBay however.
