Re: My 356.
Yup. thats it.
My gauge has no hole for a back light. I thought about lighting up the fuel gauge after the fact, but it's too tight in there as it is, so, that's it. Dash and gauges finished.

Re: My 356.
Not to worry, it's not going to make any difference to my build. Obviously just different model gauges that's all.

Re: My 356.
Alan,
I see what you mean clearance might be and issue with the added camber compensator.
My speedy is already very low this could be and issue, what would you say is the distance from the tranny to the bottom of the camber compensator?

Re: My 356.
Chaps I'll measure and come back to you, if memory serves me correctly it's around 50 to 60 mm's Manny.
One thing, it's not much lower than the bottom of the Shock absorbers, and it's horizontally in line with the wheel naturally, so, thinks like a speedbump etc wouldn't be a problem, but, a singular object in the road that the rear wheels don't go over could be an issue. If the wheels go over the object, then it's fine because they will naturally lift the bottom of the Compensator up. Hope this makes sense..

Re: My 356. Now sold.
Quick Update. October 2015, Heritage day, a VERY enthusiastic couple had a chat with me, and 2 days later, the Speedster was gone. Staying in Cape Town with a couple of other Porsches, so in good Company. The end.
