Dumb question perhaps, but what does a billet intermediate plate do besides add bling to your tranny?

It's young and tight......

And the shift rod, er rods don't wallow around as much.

And it's a ring and pinion adjust.

TC,

That combo gauge is fantastic - do you happen to know if the kits to build it are still available?

Great thread - thanks for sharing all of the hard work.

Keep it up.

Mike

Mike, Thanks for the compliments.

These gauges were just rebuilt by Mark at Vintage ( he's in the Vendor section), the 250klm Speedo I bought on eBay for $20, The 10,000rpm Tach is a rebuilt 930 and the Combo gauge is custom. I had the faceplate (and backplate) for the Triple in my stash ( (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) ) from years ago. I sent Mark the plates, a 911 Temp/Press gauge and a 914 Gas Gauge. I know Vintage makes a Quad gauge.
I just like the look of the Triple.

Who, me? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hide.gif)


TC, how much does the 10k tach cost to get rebuilt/converted from a early 911 8k tach? And would you possibly have a line on another $20 kilometer speedo?

Don, what I started with was a 930 10K Tach that had a Boost gauge at the bottom, so it was rebuilt and I eliminated the boost gauge to make it look like an earlier piece.

I really lucked out on the KLM speedo. I won an eBay auction for some Mega-phones. Through eMails with the seller, he had sold his 914-6 and was selling his stash. I picked up F & R bumpers with perfect top pads for $400 for the pair, the speedo for $20.

Very nice dash setup! I am getting closer to installing the quad gauge I got from Mark long ago.

I'm curious what the red zone on the KPH speedo is for?

Don - I just had an early 911 tach converted to a 10K dial and circuitboard replaced (so it works with an MSD now without an adapter, and doesn't bounce) - it was $200 and change. The cost will vary depending on the parts and labor your core requires.

Compliance with the law ;-)

In Germany at least but I believe through the Euro zone there must be a red mark on the speedo at 50 k/h. It's basically the 'in-city' speed limit at 31 m/h

Cool, thanks Rich! I figured it was some kind of government speed "warning" thing, kinda like our old 55mph crap, but it was so slow it threw me for a loop.
