    Anyone know where to buy replacement gage faces or decals?

    66 Mustang with 5 gauge cluster incl speedo. Fuel, water temp, Alt, oil. Looks like my temp gage just needed the needle reinstalled and tweaked a little. Sill need to pull the oil pres gage and see if its salvageable. But the faces are kinda rusty in spots, and I hate to dump $250 into 4 new gages if I can buy the faces or a decal to put on. Anyone make these and if so where? I looked at CJ, Scott Drake, google search, searched the old FYI forum and come up Nada. My search techniques are lacking, I know. Thanks

    Or....you can lay them out in Power Point, either black on white or reverse print white on black background.  Choose the font you want and print them up on Avery full page label paper.  Cut 'em out and stick 'em on.  Use a Krylon day-glow orange paint tube marker for the needles.  Use a light spray of Artists acrylic spray to protect the paper.

    I did ours four years ago...or has it been five, and they still look great...and custom.  Anyway, I installed a volt meter in place of the Ammeter and wanted to match up all the dials.  Only thing I didn't change is the speedo cause I couldn't find the right font/size.
