So, how did you do it? I'd like to be able to use the 911 tachometer also.
It was handles by a specialised shop locally. I am not that handy with electronics
There is a gauge specialist in germany also (Peter Fett, Fett-electroniks.de or s/th) that surely can do it.

Last week I started something I am thinking about for a long time. So, just did it and went to fabricate a rough shape out of cardboard and when it was somewhat ok-ish, made a better one out of 5.5mm plywood.

Its a 'splitter' and turned out like this (in primer now, will be painted black):



I have no idea if it will work as I think it could be, but only one way to find out huh?

Great minds!!! I did mine out of ABS plastic, heavy but durable, that I would make a mold of and make from CF/Kevlar if I like it. I'm worried that in normal daily driving it is going to be too beat up.



The front leading lip is an extra I purchased years ago for my E36 M3. I think its funny that my bug is as wide as the almighty M3 now!
