Most vendors have those. Speedometer Shop in CA has all the "innards" for gauges and needles, don't have decals, not sure. Chrome rings and glass can be gotten new also.

Thanks anyway! | | | | | Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 182 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 182 | Hey..If you're talkin' bout the CENTER of the gauges and the outer BEZELS...that light brownish color...(my 52) I found a spray paint so close it suprised me...It's "AMRICAN ACCENTS" by Rustoleum,the color is #7948 'London Gray'.It aint gray...it worked very well for mine. (along with a decal kit). Oh yea,the paint is a 'satin' wich matched very well.
This post isn't intended to curl anyone's nose with the nice paint guns and bucks-up paint...spray paint works pretty good sometimes! | | | | | Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 31 Member | | Member Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 31 | Yeah, that's what I'm talking about! Thanks! | | |
