Where can I find the flat glass for my 924S gauges?

I saw a site in the UK, but I'm hoping there is one in the US instead.

By the way, I noticed the other day that one of the screws on my
speedometer face was missing, but it doesn't appear to be in the glass
anywhere? HTF did that get out!!

I had a glass shop cut it for me. They have to drill a hole for the odometer set.

The guy made them for me for no cost.

Michael: The speedo one was on like a bastard. I had to drill a tiny hole just to get a piece of the edge started.

Love the gauges. How do they look a night? Any chance of posting a pic?

ahh, i came close to cursing a few times, but it wasn't on THAT tough! those flat faces are pretty schweet, i was thinking about taking the domes off completely, but they look good stock i think. i also had the 924S guage surround on there for a bit, but it didn't match, so i put my 944 one back on there, i'm pretty happy with em, now i just need to check my speedo with a GPS...

Does that flat glass make a big difference? How is it better?

The flag glass just looks better, but the cone glass reduced glare.

Thanks buddy,

You just outbid me on that auction. Hope you are going to put both sets to good use. Let me know if you see any more up for sale. Also let me know the quality of the material and how it looks. guess all is fair in love and e-bay bidding.

Good luck

Are you sure I beat you. There were 4 sets on that auction. I just got 2 of them. Yes, they will be going to good use. 1 for me and Predator wanted a set to go in his car.
