Question 911 Gauges for a backdate project

Dear Friends,

I´m backdating a 1978 sc into a 1973 and i would like to fit the ´73 gauges on the car

Problem is that the actual car use a electronic Speedometer and the ´73 speed gauge that i have is mechanical

So, how do i solve this problem?

Thanks

Yes, they can cosmetically change your gauges to look like the 73 gauges.

Palo Alto Speedo did all of my gauges and I converted my cable driven speedo to a later electronic speedo so I could add the extra digit on the odometer to keep the actual mileage accurate. Early cars just went to 99,999. Hartmut did the conversion by adding a VDO converter which changes the gear driven inout to electronic output for the speedo.
