Nice work. Where did you get the dial faces made?

I am receiving the gauges tomorrow, so I'll post a last picture of the finished work. I did see some other dials made by Porschedials in a car the other day and I noticed they made a couple things different. For example the turning signals are orange, not green and the high beam signal is pretty weak.
Also I didn't like the light orange color in the 'red' area on the tachometer.
I asked them to make it more red, I'll see tomorrow how it turned out.
Either way I will be very happy though, it is great to have the option of having these customised to my liking. I think it is going to look great in the car.

Nice work!!

Question regarding the tach. What was required to change the rotation of the needle and how did you calibrate it? It would appear the new face sits normally in the housing and you would have to adjust the rest setting of the needle??

Calibration and installation of the dials has all been done by a specialist.

Nice gauge but it won't work in a 964 Turbo.
Try advertising it over in the 930 board.

The 964 uses an electronic boost gauge. Also our clock is required to stay connected. I think you will find more takers on the 930 forum where the line exists at the tach already and is far easier to connect.

Nice gauge I might add but there are options that work with the 964T's that are more plug and play that are far less involved and costly to install.

GLWS you should have no problem selling them especially to the 930 guys.
