My 1973 914 with 2.0 liter 1974 GA engine came with a non original combined temp and oil pressure gauge. At first glance it looks like a normal VDO gauge, maybe for 911 original but looking closer it seems the letters and numbers are hand painted or some sort of transfer decals. There is no item number and at the back there is also no number or date stamp. Could this be custom made by someone? Here are some pictures
   This is the sensor that is installed  The temp meter works but the pressure meter works only from time to time and sometimes drops all the way down or jumps up to the maximum. I took it out and replaced it with an original fuel gauge with just the pressure warning light and a 60mm temp gauge in the console. Maybe someone can tell me more about this gauge? |

I stand corrected - for some reason I don’t recall the silver dot 911 gauges
I’m blaming it on old age (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) Thank you for edgumacating me on 911 history!  Curious though - on OPs gauge, is there a 911 part number up under the bezel? |
