Are there really that many SC'd cars out there to support this quantity of specialized product?

Randy -

Not just SC cars - but any owner who wants to protect his 928 by adding an oil temp gauge, Amps, a more accurate Voltmeter (the stock unit is known to give errant readings to many), or any other 2 1/16" gauge you can imagine!

Kewl beans. Now I get to puzzle my interior guy:

"Paint THIS to match the custom interior you did for me 3 years ago!"

And, since my car is an ROW/Euro...I get to re-mount the pop-riveted VIN placard from the A pillar to...I don't know where!

I need to buy an oil temp gauge, a manifold pressure gauge, and a fuel pressure gauge in appropriate sizes. Where do I find these?

N!

Does anybody know if the signal sent to the factory in dash oil pressure and coolant temp gauges are a "standard" signal. Meaning if I replace them with an aftermarket gauge, are they a direct plug in?

What size are the two outer gauge's on the 928's?

Carl, they look great - I'm thinking of an excuse to pick mine up in person. When's a good time over the next couple of weekends - or, will you be at the Speed Seekers event at RA the 16th & 17th?

I like Nordskog Guages - Made in the USA and good stuff,
We use them in our SC kits.

One series that they have, called the "Street Series Analog" can be ordered with black background, flourescent orange needle, white lettering - an exact match for the VDO gauges in the dash pod. They look good.

The senders are digital - the gauge is analog - I like that. They have digital gauges too. This series starts with a "K" and ends with a "B" like "K708B"

I am a Nordskog dealer - but at my best I can only get to the price that Summit Racing sells them for anyway cuz they sell so many.

Yes Carl, but I assume you will not charge an 8.95 "Handling" charge on every order, but only will charge for actual shipping? This is a good thing. Sure, Summit "says" its free shipping, but the "handling" is shipping, and it irritates me.
