Instrument dials

[rigwit]

Elsewhere on the forum there is a post about a polish board, and dial faces are mentioned but can only be sourced in KPH.

I have been in contact with the owner and he has sent me a pic of dials in MPH, however it is in 5 MPH increments, I am in discussion with Manuel if it is possible to have it printed as per UK spec...have to wait and see this is MPH print they do now for the CB-1..

I need to do a bit of research into this sort of thing, I'm swapping the clcok in my car for a turbo boost gauge and want to get a face that matches the other gauges.

Check out the thread entitled 'Refurbishing gauges' from last year, in tech corner page 9 or 10.

What style do you need?? my last car was a turbo and I used 2 TIM guages as I set it up to run low boost/overboost think I still have guages, and if memory serves black face white pointer boost in bar..........

The clocks are a bit of a one-off they're a browny/cream colour in a retro stylee. I thought the boost gauge I had bought was white and might not look too bad but it's silver and does.

could get a telemetrix brushed alloy  white face   remove bezel   and use an old t bag on white face to marble brown/cream/white,then paint bezel once replaced..

OK, got an e-mail form the owner, "Manuel" saying he doesn't have the UK spec prints but if I was to scan one and send it off they could copy that................so sounded a bit iffy, so been searching on net and gauges arn't that hard to make yourself, so    another project for the winter, Close me is a plastic - nylon factory that do clear nylon sheet and can cnc or laser cut to customers spec.................Looking into it........
