It was Mark (Marks914), then he moved it over to www.newvintageusa.com. I think I heard that they're not doing them any more, or maybe they could but only as a special order. There was a thread in the Vendors section.

Yeah, what he said....but they are $$ compared to what Mark used to offer the 4-gauge for. I REALLY should have bought one when he was selling (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Maybe someone can convince him to do another run of the quads....

I wish someone would just print a custom face or some kind of UV proof decal kit...I could do the rest.

This comes up regularly now. Many of us would love a triple or quad gauge. Who among us has the necessary manufacturing access and skills? Whoever it is, I am jealous of that person.

I know I will be needing some gauge work for my Six. I want to add the fuel gauge into the tach (like a turbo boost gauge) and then have a triple gauge for oil pressure, oil temperature and voltage.

I like the quad gauge but it looks a little crowded for my taste thus the fuel gauge going into the tachometer.

I have one of Mark's quad gauge setups in my V8 conversion car (works great, BTW). The down side is that the oil pressure part of the guage (which is at 9 o'clock) partially is obscured by the steering wheel.

I have only a few kits left. I made the mistake of posting on Pelican and sold/built several recently. Let me know if you want one. I'm running out of kits and when they are gone, they are gone. MarkS is the one who worked with me to get the lettering worked out once and for all. Then he kept using my artwork. I really didn't care as he wasn't using VDO parts in his and they just didn't look right to me.

These are/were kits that you assemble (or pay me to assemble if you provide the donor gauges).

Here are the instructions:

Attached File  Triple_Gauge_Kit.pdf ( 322.12k ) Number of downloads: 585


Do PDFs' not work correctly as attachments? Anyone get the PDF to display? I can't see it to make sure it worked. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I can see it, and my 'home computer' is a phone.
I may have to get in touch with you soon about one...don't really care about a voltmeter anyway.

I've never been able to download .pdf files from 914world.com. It's not scientific, but over time I've seen many others complain that they cannot download / read them either.

For example, I can't download your instructional .pdf file using any browser on any of my computers.

Sad.

I copy and paste the PDF photos into word before I post just because of that!

Hi John,

Could you pm me what it would cost to build a gauge like yours but using #'s for the temp/oil press. (like the 69-73 style gauge). Also the parts that I would need to supply you. It would be going into my 70 914-6 with a 2.7 RS..

Thanks,

Luke

Guys, I've been flooded with PM's and I need to check to see what EXACTLY I have left.

The latest order I have is to a gentleman in Luxembourg for (2) assembled kits. He supplied the donor 914 fuel gauges and the 911 Temp/Press gauges.

The kits are $120.00 each and assembly of donor gauges is $60.00 each kit.

So, to answer many questions, a completed triple gauge from me would cost $180.00 plus shipping back to you if you provide me with plug-in style 914 fuel gauge and plug-in style 911 Oil Temp/Press gauge.

Remember, the quality of the completed unit depends on the quality of the donor gauges.

I do not provide numbered Oil Temp face plates and I do not provide oil Press face plates for the 911 gauges. I personally don't feel they add anything except clutter to the finished gauges. The VDO gauges are ok at giving relative temps or pressure, but they are not 100% accurate.

I will be checking in the morning exactly how many more kits I can offer for sale, but I really feel that I need to give Joe, (the original poster of this thread) the first right of refusal. I have dealt with him in the past and I feel that I owe it to Joe to give him that right.

Thanks for your interest,

John

Thanks

John,

If you haven't already, add me to your list also.
I have some of the parts/gauges needed to complete this.
I'm waiting to get in the 911 donor gauge.
I'll wait to hear back from you on how many kits that you have available.
Keep us posted.

Thanks,

Luke
