Product Information
Product Information
Speedo cable.
This speedometer cable is manufactured to match the original specifications of the vintage Porsche 356 series (pre-A, A, B, C). It is built with the correct length, inner core, outer casing, and split-end connector compatible with the original Porsche instrument cluster and transmission drive gear. This cable ensures accurate speedometer readings by reliably transferring rotational motion from the gearbox output to the speedometer drive. Its durable cable casing and flexible inner core provide resistance to oil, vibration, and heat - ideal in older engines and chassis environments.

Fits:
Porsche 356 1950 - 1955
Porsche 356 A 1955 - 1959  *LHD (left-hand drive) cars only
Porsche 356 B 1960 - 1963  *LHD (left-hand drive) cars only
Porsche 356 C 1964 - 1965  *LHD (left-hand drive) cars only

Diagram ref no 19.

When the original cable becomes stiff, frayed, stretched, or the outer casing cracked or worn, this OE Match cable restores correct speedometer function, eliminating erratic or non-functioning speed readings, and preserving the functionality and safety of your car’s instrumentation.

The speedometer cable reliably transfers rotational movement from the transmission to the speedometer, ensuring accurate speed readings through a consistent mechanical connection with minimal internal friction. It serves as a direct replacement for worn or degraded original cables, restoring proper instrument function and dependable gauge performance.

Ideal for restoration projects, maintenance, or any situation where original cable condition is doubtful.

Replacing old or worn speedometer cables prevents inaccurate speed readings, avoids instrument failure, and helps maintain safety compliance. A fresh, properly spec'ed cable also preserves the originality and reliability of classic Porsche speedometer systems.

Product Information
Product Information

This OE Match tachometer pairs a 356-style appearance with an 8000 RPM scale for Porsche 356 / 356A / 356B / 356C applications. The instrument requires a 12V electrical supply.

Fits

  • Porsche 356A 1955–59
  • Porsche 356B 1959–63
  • Porsche 356C 1963–65
  • Porsche 356 1950–55


Check fitment for your specific vehicle (model, year, engine) before ordering. Confirm the vehicle's electrical voltage, instrument connections and mounting arrangement, particularly where previous restoration work has changed the original specification.

What This Product Does
A tachometer indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute, rather than road speed. This instrument provides an engine-speed display while retaining styling suited to a Porsche 356 dashboard.


Functions

  • Displays engine speed in RPM.
  • Provides a visual reference for changes in engine speed.
  • Supports dashboard refurbishment with a 356-style instrument.


Technical Details

  • Product reference: 8199600500.
  • Brand: OE Match.
  • Electrical supply: 12V.
  • Maximum scale marking: 8000 RPM.
  • Instrument styling: 356 style.
  • Supplied application coverage: Porsche 356 /A/B/C, 1.1–1.6 litres, January 1950–December 1965.


Symptoms of Fault

  • A needle that fluctuates unexpectedly.
  • Indicated engine speed that appears too high or too low.
  • No reading, or a reading that disappears intermittently.


These symptoms do not establish that the tachometer itself has failed. Check its supply, earth connections, wiring and input before deciding to replace the instrument.


Why Replacement Matters
Renewal may be appropriate when an instrument no longer responds correctly or forms part of a dashboard restoration. Addressing any associated electrical faults helps avoid replacing a functioning gauge unnecessarily. OE Match's Porsche-focused replacement-parts programme includes components intended for repair and restoration work.


FAQs

Does an 8000 RPM scale mean the engine can run at that speed?
No. The scale limit is an instrument specification, not an approved engine operating limit.

Is this suitable for a 6V installation?
The supplied specification is 12V. Do not assume compatibility with a 6V system.

What should be checked before fitting?
Identify and label the existing connections, inspect the earths and confirm compatibility with the vehicle's electrical installation.

Porsche Instruments & Gauge Clusters | Precision Monitoring for Performance and Reliability

Your Porsche’s instrument cluster is the heartbeat of the driving experience — delivering vital performance and engine data at a glance. From speedometers and tachometers to oil pressure and temperature gauges, these instruments combine precision engineering with timeless Porsche design. Over time, however, electrical faults, fading displays, or worn mechanisms can affect accuracy and reliability.

At Design911, we supply high-quality instrument clusters, gauges, and individual components designed to match or exceed original performance standards. Each part is meticulously engineered to ensure accurate readings, seamless integration, and long-term durability, restoring the driver-focused feel that defines every Porsche.

Whether you’re restoring a classic 911 cockpit or replacing a modern digital cluster, our range provides precision, authenticity, and performance you can trust.

What Do Porsche Instruments Do?

Instrument clusters and gauges allow drivers to monitor essential performance metrics, helping maintain control and awareness in all driving conditions.

Core Functions:

  • Display vehicle speed, RPM, fuel level, oil pressure, and temperature.
  • Provide real-time engine and system monitoring.
  • Integrate warning lights and indicators for safety and diagnostics.
  • Maintain Porsche’s signature driver-focused layout.
  • Enhance cabin aesthetics with precision-crafted design and finishes.

A properly functioning instrument cluster ensures both performance accuracy and a refined interior presentation.

Why Do Instruments Wear or Fail?

Even high-precision instruments are subject to wear, ageing, and electrical issues — especially in classic and high-mileage Porsche models.

Common Causes of Failure Include:

  • Faulty sensors or electrical connections causing inaccurate readings.
  • Dimming or failed backlighting and displays.
  • Internal gear or stepper motor wear in analogue gauges.
  • Faded dial faces or cracked lenses from UV exposure.
  • Moisture ingress causing corrosion or display malfunction.

When these issues occur, inaccurate readings or unresponsive gauges can compromise both safety and driving confidence.
