is there an older style (pre '90s, before they went all plastic) 911 combo oil-temp/oil-pressure gauge that will work with the later style 993 5 bar sending unit?
i currently have a '74 911 S gauge and it reads exactly double. the 993 motor uses the newer style sending units with the large threads, so using an older sending unit is out of the question. is there such a thing as an earlier style gauge that works with the 5 bar sending unit?

Why is an older sender out of the question? The newer sender uses larger threads, so an adapter would be easy to make. I made an adapter to go the other way, which is harder. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Check my progress thread for pics of my adapter. |

Why is an older sender out of the question? because i'm tired of waiting on the machine shop for a week only to get the wrong part and then i have to wait all over again ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) someone on pelican mentioned that the SC and 3.2 Carrera used 5 bar sending units as well. if that is correct, i'd rather get one of them gauges ...
