Hollywood speedo is the place to get one. They won't sell you a kit but they will sell you a complete guage for $500... I think that is what it is.
There is a better alternative, maybe not better but cheaper.... I have a 73 914-6 (conversion of course) I have a 911 combo guage in the left guage slot, 180mph speedo in the right guage slot, a regular 911SC tach in the middle....
So I have no gas guage and I get 16mpg or so. A little while ago I ran out of gas on the freeway about half a mile from the next exit, so I pushed the car about 1/4 mile and almost threw up. 2000 pounds isn't much for a car but it is alot when you are pushing it yourself up a incline. Thank you to the car load of teenage kids that stopped to push it the rest of the way.
So I called up Hollywood speedo for some type of gas guage solution. They said they would put a gas guage inside my Tach for $200. The needle would be in the bottom of the tach. Looks very similar to the 911 Turbo tach with a boost guage (boost guage location becomes the gas guage). Works for me. Then I will have all the guages I need.
The next option I want from them is the hallogen guage bulb set, it costs $150 but your guages look as bright as a new cars guages.
Hope that helped

I'm currently in the same boat (except I have yet to run out of gas
) Your suggestion sound like a good possibility -- never thought of putting the gas in the tach. I do like the look of the 904, however
