Time for Gauges, What should I consider??? Options

[Cairo94507]

Hi everyone- Scotty just sent me my original Six gauges so I can take them to Palo Alto Speedometer and have them restored. So the speedometer is pretty straight forward, it will just be totally restored and the existing mileage retained as it is the true mileage of the car and worked until the car was taken apart.

The tachometer is a different story. It will be restored and converted to work with the 3.2 Motronic motor going in the car. I am also considering having an oil pressure gauge installed into the tachometer, similar to the turbo gauges on the 930's. I figured that was the most obvious place to put this critical gauge. I am curious what other people think about that though. So please let me know your thoughts.

Now the last gauge is going to convert to a triple gauge. I am thinking oil temp, cylinder head temp and possibly amps. I want that gauge to retain a fairly stock look with the typical 914-6 warning lights and symbols in it.

The fuel gauge is going to move down to the storage compartment right below the dash bottom with possibly another gauge next to it. I really do not want to add a clock but can't really think of another gauge for that position. I would like to have two gauges in the storage box for balance.

Please feel free to add your thoughts. Of course we will be keeping the silver dot feature of these gauges.

Here is my stock tachometer:

I was also thinking about asking Palo Alto Speedo to change out the odometer to the newer 911 style that adds one more digit so when the car turns 100K it does not go back to zero. Thoughts? OH and you may have noticed the extra combo gauge in the background of the second picture. That is likely the one we will be using to make the new combo gauge so I can retain the original Six combo gauge in storage with the other original Six parts we will be replacing with newer stuff - thanks Scotty for that gauge (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif).
