Thanks guys.

They are VDO gauges installed by the PO (Oil temp, Oil pressure, Cylinder Head temp, Voltage, and Clock). It looks to me like it is a vinly covered fiberglass console and it ties into the base of the shifter knob and goes back to the hand brake. I'm not sure where he bought it but he spent a small fortune with Performance Products so I'm guessing they are the source. I really like the console and the shifter boot.

If you like, I can try to find a few minutes to snap some closeup shots later this week.

Dan,

That would be great. I'm looking for a place to mount some guages, namely an A/F mix and CHT gauge.

While we're all looking, what's the rectangular cover on the dash?
Is that a speaker cover?

Is that a 6X9?
I'm constantly searching for a place to put some decent size speakers in my car. I can't use the rear deck because it's the firewall. Mine's a Cabrolet. I have speakers in the door panels and in the panels next to the rear seat. It's probably a little better than the single speaker in your dash, but real tinny.
I like the gauge set!

Charlie, I was thinking that we could make a simular panel for the A/F meter and one or two of the other functions. If we just use the top 3 inches of the box we can still use the bottom half to hold junk.
Do you have AC switches on the top part of your's?

I don't know the exact measurements off hand but it's smaller than a 6x9 more like a 4x6. I think they stopped using these in '74. I wouldn't suggest going with this since you would have to modify your dash and the added sound wouldn't be that great.

Dan,

I think it was me. I passed you on Dry Mill (?) and flashed you. I was driving the red '89 911.
