Previous owner of my car improperly installed new dials and the tach wouldn’t operate correctly. Used to video to swap in a new tach dial in 60 minutes - you’re a legend
Any chance you might offer more than just the tachometer? Hoping also for a speedometer replacement along with the other dials in an alternative colour. Thanks.
If you're doing a 997 version, can I suggest that you do one with a "Carrera" or "911" logo on it, (where the Turbo logo goes on the Turbo model). I always think that the tacho looks as if it's lacking something on the standard car.
Check this out… I just launched a brand new line of custom gauge faces with a new supplier. They’re awesome and there are lots of different options: www.autoamateur.com/product-page/100-customized-porsche-tach-face-8k-9k-10k-rpm-pdk-or-manual
Mine currently has white in the middle. Was thinking of going blue in the center to match the new wrap I put on, then maybe white for the others. Looks great.
Looks great - but you make it look so easy! I once took my instrument cluster off to change a bulb that had gone out on the oil pressure gauge. My blue/green/white plugs we SOOOOO brittle, I quickly aborted the mission. Chickened out, you might say. Maybe I’ll give it another shot. I’d like to have a yellow or maybe red tach face.
I actually just launched a brand line of factory quality tach faces… lots of unique designs and colors, plus the option to completely custom design one for yourself. Check out AutoAmateur.com/Shop ! Let me know if you need any help. 🙌
Hi James, what is with your clock and I guess mileage reset buttons. they seemed to be brocken like in so many 996s. There is a company in the UK selling these buttons via ebay. Maybe another idea for a new project for your 996. Keep it up 👍
My 996.1 cluster is completely different to disassemble, I’m in the middle of this process there is no t8 screws and what about removing the clock reset stalks? Your slid through the holes mine too wide.
Longtime viewer here on the verge of unsubscribing. As a 997 driver I feel slighted at the unavailability of custom color gauges for my pride and joy!😠. Patiently waiting for you to get that figured out. I have all white and would like to switch to black with a Speed (not Racing) Yellow tach and sport Chrono gauge. Also am installation guide. Or better yet, I’d like to use the Auto Amateur Professional In Home Installation Service. Here. I’m Texas. Have your people call my people.😉
God how I have been waiting for this.
LOL HAHAHA
You stirrer.
The highlight of your 2022 so far, right Nick?! I knew it.
@@AutoAmateur you know James, maybe you could go to Connecticut and do a video of installing on the 993 cab

Ha! Tell your friends.... Haha. That's very kind!! Cheers.
Excellent video, James, and very helpful!
Cheers!!
I like those letters say Porsche in the background very nice subtle but cool
I'm so doing this mod!!!! Thanks for the inspiration!
Awesome!
I'm about to start selling 996 guage faces again in the next few days. Stay tuned!
Makes a big difference. Love it. Sorry Nick.
Nice work as always. Ads a nice little pop of color.
Excellent vid. You could have added a shot through the windscreen when you were unplugging the instrument gauges.
Yes, I was thinking the same as I was editing this. Good suggestion!

Please let me know when you do one for the center of the 992 C2S. Thanks!
Looks fabulous James 🙏
You’re so much more confident on the tools too
Well done
^ What he said. I'm anxious to see what you do about the engine and transmission.
Any future plan to do a complete set of all the gauges?
I can make them to order but I don’t think I’ll be doing them myself.
Nice, James it looks like you may be keeping the 996.
Super easy! Thanks for the tutorial!
Looks Great!!
Nice job.... would not mind doing this to my 991.
Super cool, looks good James!
Another great video, James!
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers!
Always nice when a video is available. I can't wait to see the refurbished seats & steering wheel !

Looks good James… love the fact you making some great modifications on the 996
Super nice modification! I’m looking for a (dark)grey one for my 996. Only for the rpm gauge
I have one! Send me an email!
Are the gauges faces still available? I clicked on the link and it said not found. Thanks!

Are these still available? I'd love to get a gray rev counter for my 996!
Sorry, not at the moment. I still have a few in stock but I’m on hiatus from taking new custom orders. I hope to be back later in the year.

It looks super this! All blue?
Thank you Jaap!! Just the center, at least just for now...
Love it!!!! I'll pay ya to do my 991 in red!!!!
Awesomeness. Thank you.
Looks great!…. Just wondering of any calibration issues since the needle was removed. Any idea?

Are the gauge faces no longer available?
Not at the moment. I’m currently transitioning to a new print supplier.
I like it!
Cheers Dan!!
Great video, if I want to change the speedo from mph to kmh, not the digital, is it just to change to one with kmh?
Yes, it is
nice idea
I would have used Elmer's glue or a dab of clear silicone versus super glue, but other than that, well done.
Awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!

Theeeeere it is
Are you still selling these?
No I lost my print supplier unfortunately. Try Venoxy.com !
Bummer. I’m looking for a gold 996 tach. They only go back to 997.
I went to your link and it said product couldn’t be found.Did you stop selling them?
I did. They’re temporarily unavailable while I find a new print provider.
It looks supreb! Followed the link but it was broken :( Please a new print supplier pops up soon 😢
Thank you! Sorry, I still have a few in stock but I’m on hiatus from taking new custom orders. I hope to be back later in the year.
@@AutoAmateur Coolio! Am keen with a blue tach face when you are back later in the year

The Alvin and chipmunks techno music is horrible dude.
Ha!! Fair.
