Default Restoring Gauges

Hi Eric - to me the speedometer is fairly simple and I have restored some including a new decal for the face. However you need to know the mechanics of the speedometer to restore/repair it without damaging it.

I had a look at doing the gauges but gave that away as too hard. The problem with these are that you cannot remove the faces as they are riveted onto a sub-bracket, therefore not being able to remove the face you cannot get into the workings or replicate the face.

Now if you had stuck to the Ford you could have had the complete set along with the switch plates.

Bob
