Default Custom Dials (tachometer) Recommendations?

Does anyone know where I can order a white dial? I know Porschedials/D-Werx was the go-to place in the past when they used to fill orders, but post-Porschedails, where can get a good quality gauge face? is North-hollywood any good?

Start with them or Palo Alto Speedometer. You can check with FVD or Gert also. Good luck.

I recommend http://www.heiler-tachodesign.de/. I ordered two tach faces from them last year.

Do you have a photo of the product? I just looked at the standard tachometer face on their site and it was a bit off. The 4 was not at the 12 o'clock position. Thanks!

Sure. They offer a few different versions; you usually have to tweak the min/max calibration on the tach when you replace the tach face. Here's the one that's in my car and the extra one I ended up with:

I really like that format of the extra tack, the 3 at the 9 O'clock position is perfect.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread.

Emissary, where did you get the white needle for the tach?

Thanks. My red tach face showed up today

Ha! No, about 3 weeks since I ordered it. I did a search for some info on putting it in and came across this thread and saw the white needle.

That’s actually the stock needle. The orange is just a light layer of paint. If you just gently apply some fine sandpaper to the orange on the needle the orange paint rubs right off. The white is what’s left underneath.
