Hi,
Sorry for double post in other thread (faster reply here in the garage) but need to know what brand of wheels the below are. Thought Riviera but the ones I found are with silver insert and not black. Also, do you know what kind of meter this is ? Oilpressure ? car = 1973 2.0 euro spec thks Dax |

Thks Mark Henry. Those wheels are aftermarket and not original ? 1973 it should have babyfuchs rims ? The VDO meter is an oilpressure meter ? If it works what should it read ? Think you guys have PSI but I can see kg2/km... ??? This meter was never standard in a 914 euro spec ? Any idea out of which car it could come ? Sorry for asking but checking on a car tomorrow and want to be prepared krgds Dax |

the Kp is kilopascal and = to .01 bar. not sure about the km, doesn't make sense. 1 bar=14.5 psi, so I'm guessing it's just reading in bar units. Looks like kiloPascals per square centimeter. That and the OEL below make me think it is indeed an oil pressure gauge. |

Wrong.......Americans (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) .....tisk-tisk (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) You should have embraced the metric system. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) I can't read it but it's likeley it's kgf/cm^, other clue is it only goes up to 5. kilopascale = .14 psi kilogram/cm^ =14.2 psi |

Just remember. There are two kinds of countries in this world. Those that use the metric system, and those that have been to the moon. You do realize that all the telemetry for your moon flight was done in metric, yes? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Also, we pesky Germans build those moon rockets for you, you are welcome!
