Finally an update.... Sorry these are taking so long. Seems like it takes forever to get parts these days and I've been busier than expected with other gauges recently. I still have to wire up the lights and do final testing and assembly on these first 3, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel ;)

As you can see, each one is made to order and all the parts are custom made depending on the configuration and movements. Once I get these first 3 out the door I'll probably start another small batch of them.

Finally... The first one is done and almost ready to send to Jeff. Hope to have the other 2 done in the next couple days.

Brilliant!

2 more just about ready to ship. This first batch of 3 took much longer than I anticipated and I'm looking at a couple changes to the design to make the assembly easier.

Dang these look amazing!

First triple gauge went out last week. These are proving to be very time consuming to build but we're making a few changes to the design which will hopefully reduce the time required to assemble them.

One more quad gauge shipped today and one more in progress. I'm going to take a few weeks to catch up then I'll consider building another small batch of these.

Hey, that's mine! I will be camped at the post office until further notice.

Thanks for doing this.

[Edit: post 1600!]

Truly beautiful work. Any car would love one of your gauges.

Would love to have one of the quad gauges as above for my 930. Any idea if there’s a digital to analog signal converter for the AFR gauge?

Damn this is amazing! Any chance of a gauge for us 912E owners that would replace the leftmost gas gauge with gas + oil pressure + AFR?

Most of the wideband controllers have a 0-5V analog output. The 3 most popular wideband controllers seem to be (AEM 30-0310, Innovate LC-2, and PLX SM-AFR)

No problem doing triple gauge with gas, oil pressure, and AFR

I’ve got the PLX device.

Do you have the older one in the metal box or the newer plastic one? They both have the 0-5V analog output but the older one is very slow. Do you have any AFR gauge in the car now?

I’ve got the new one in the plastic box. Also got their digital readout gauge but nowhere is really good to put it so it can be read at a glance.

The analog output from the new PLX works well with my AFR gauges. Another, less expensive, option is to replace the clock with one like this.

I’ve got a 935 boost gauge in the clock position and that stays. I don’t really need the voltage gauge so perhaps that’s cheaper. PM me prices if that’s best. Do you require my original gauge?

Here's a 904 "style" triple gauge I'm finishing up. I was lucky to find a core 356 gauge on eBay so I used the 3 rounded lenses and the chrome center ring to build this gauge. These get expensive to build because you need that original 356 gauge plus all the other parts.

I'm working on a couple more combo gauges that should be finished up in the next couple weeks and I'm able to build a couple more before my son heads off to school. My son does all the CAD and machine work for the custom faces and parts that go into these gauges and he is heading back to school in a few weeks. So... if anyone is interested in a triple or quad gauge let me know in the next week or so and I'll have him make the necessary parts before he leaves. Next chance to order one will be over the Xmas holiday.

This is going to be a stretch, but I'd like to investigate the possibility of a quad gauge as a replacement for my BMW 3.0CS clock. The stock left-most gauge on a CS is equivalent to the double-gauge for Porsche, as far as I can tell. As soon as I can get a measurement of the clock, I'll see what can work.

Example dual gauge:

The gauge in your picture and I believe the clock are the size of the small Fuel/Oil level combo gauge in the 911. The quad gauges are based on the larger Oil Temp/Pressure combo gauge. There is no way to fit 4 gauges into the small clock-size case.

I'm working on trying to put 3 gauges in a small case but even to do that is proving to be challenging.

Beautiful work.

That makes sense, I haven't been able to snag any seat time in one of the Porsches to get a feel for the dimensions.

Here's the back of the cluster, clock is on the far left, combo gauge is far right.

Are the "OIL-TEMP." and "OIL/P" labels swapped?

Good catch....the labels aren't swapped but the numbered faces are.

Want!
 

I am waxing nostalgic for my first 914 which had a triple combo gauge. I loved it. I have spent so much time scouring the internet looking for someone who could build one and hot damn, it looks like you are the guy. Very interested in two triple gauges for my two 914's! Let me know how to get on the list :) Photo of my old 914's trip gauge. Maybe you made it?http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1633554455.jpg

Found the doc. Placing my request this evening and so stoked.

I believe I've replied to all the recent requests. If I missed anyone please send me a PM.

Just as a reminder. I'm not building these quad and triple gauges at the moment. My son does all the machine work for the custom parts and he's away at college. As long as you're not in a hurry, we can work out all the details and I can have him make the parts while he's home. Next chance after that will be spring break.

Finishing up another triple gauge. For anyone interested in a triple or quad gauge, now is the time. I'll build another small batch of these after the holidays and that will be it until probably April.

There is a link at the top of this thread if you want to get a quote. I'll need to get any orders finalized in the next couple weeks so I can have my son machine the parts while he's home for Christmas.

I finished up a few more combo gauges after the holidays and I'm planning to build one more batch of these in April. My son will be home for spring break at the end of March so I'll have him make the parts I need. This will likely be the last batch of these for the year. My son took an out-of-state internship for the summer so it's doubtful he'll be home before starting the next school year. If you're interested in a quad or triple gauge, fill out the Google form and I'll get you an estimate. I'll need to nail down the details by the second week in March to be able to get it into this next batch.

I have about 14 gauges to build in this current batch and I won't be building any more of these until winter. Sorry, but my son machines and presses the custom faces and he won't be home until winter break. If something changes I'll update the thread.

I would like a thee function gauge for my 356. Are these still available?
