Default Dash plates

If you're talking about the zinc plates for switches gearshift and other details all you can really do is clean them (short of replacing them with reproductions). Once they have faded (and they all do over time) you can't bring them back as far as I know. There was someone here in Queensland making cab 12 sets - can anyone give us the contact details please?

Peter Gough in Brisbane does a very wide range of outstanding data plates for many WW2 vehicles (he can produce on order if he does not have them in stock). You can call him in the evenings on +61 7 5548 6420 for international or for Australians 07 5548 6420.

Default Reproduction Chevrolet Switch Plates

Hi all - this subject has come up before. Bob C (Boobee) indicated that Jeff Caldwell had made replicas of these. However I attempted to communicate with Jeff on several occasions but never received a response, so gave it up as a bad job. If anyone can confirm Jeff has these or get him to communicate I would appreciate it. I have considered replicating these myself in a decal similar to my instrument decals but if someone, Jeff, has done this in a cost effective manner, I would prefer just to buy in.
Bob

Thanks for the replys but the answer is as feared.does anyone have any clear pics of the plates ie switches gear shift and warning plates so i can see about getting some decals made.Or altenatively does anyone have a fairly good shift plate for a 11 cab F15A with the single shift transfer box they would like to sell as thats the worst of them all

thanks
luke

Default Toggle switch with little ball

This weekend I spotted on the coverage of NASCAR racing toggle switches with the little ball on the end like those used on Pattern 12 Chevys. Will search for more information.
