Source for VDO gauge inserts?
I am looking to make some custom gauges. Does anyone know a source for the VDO style gauge inserts. You can buy oil temperature. What about others?
 I think most of these operate on a 0-5V scale and I could repurpose some old gauges. That might happen but is more work than buying what I need.

Id like the answer too so bump...
I looking for a fuel pressure insert for the tach. NHS initially responded but no responses to followups. They said 5-6 months. So yes, what other inserts and sources are out there?

John, Maybe these are not available... I am sure they have got to be somewhere.

I thought there was a 914 gauge guy who did them on here. Maybe google for the triple Porsche 911 gauge, or the quad....if I remember right the same guy does those too

Yes, I am familiar with the 914 quad gauge. They have not been available for a few years. Kicking myself I did not buy one then.

There's a guy in Germany that seems to make repros on clear plastic. He says they are like the originals, but I cannot verify.

Thanks for the link. They have some nice overlays.
I am looking for the actual electronic insert section. I used the oil temp as an example. These used to be available for V meters, AFR, and other functional gauge sections as inserts. Now it seems VDO only sells the functional parts inside actual gauges.

I got my gauge inserts for the VDO instruments from New Vintage USA. Easy installation and look perfectly stock. newvintageusa.com. Reasonable prices. Happy.
