I have this gauge console face, that I think is for the A/C equipped cars - hoping someone can confirm that.. and also does anyone have build dimensions for the lower section of this particular console (I don’t have the rest and am considering building or having one built)? Thanks.

Yep, that looks like a VPC if I have that correct. I've owned three 914s and 2 came with the DPD staggered console dashes.

VPC (Porsche-Audi Southeast) and DPD (Distributor Parts Depot / West Coast)

This looks like yours.

Doug,

Would the dimensions of the other type of console (DPD) help you? I can get that from my LE's console out in the shed.

Thanks Fred, no actually I'm probably more interested in doing a "Cubby" style custom console. I think I remember someone posting the stock cubby dimension with a drawing at some point - but I can not find them atm. I'm thinking I could probably just alter those dimensions to be shorter, and have it work. I'll keep looking when I get chance.
