new gauge faces
#18
Pearldrum944,
I have been trying to find white face gauges with KMH only markings for my early 944 but no one seems to sell them. This looks like a perfect option but I have no skill with photoshop at all. Would I be able to send you a scanned file for modification in photoshop so that you could email it back for me to get it printed locally.
Do you have any tips on removing the gauges?? Is it difficult?
Regards
Peter

Removing the gauges was not fun... Pulling the cluster out wasn't too bad and I'm starting to get better at attaching and the speedo cable. Pry the gauge "pods" out. Then pry the metal ring edge around the gauge so the cone can be removed. I used a kitchen fork to pull the gauge needles off. I bent the tach needle because it was the first one I did, but had a spare. Then but the faces in using the screws and some glue. Put the needles back in using a couple of reference marks I made to where the needles naturally sit. Put it back together...

It was scaled from the center using the km/h of a US gauge. Pearldrum944's original gauge scans.

Has anyone ever tried to print these with high quality photo paper and then laminate them???(like back in school?)
Would that last, or would the ink oxidize and de laminate?
It would give it just the right amount of rigidity.
