My x71 gauge faces are bubbling up and I need to replace them and restore the chrome rings inside the gauges. I was going to send to NH speedo but the only install white/alum faces without cutouts.

Does anyone know of a source for them or the techart white/alum gauge faces with cutouts for warning lights?

 

You can still get them through Techart Germany.

 

The problem with the TechArt gauge faces (at least for the standard black gauges) is that they don't have a dead front like the factory pieces. It is extremely noticeable when you have the sun shining through the rear window and all the warning lights looks like they're illluminated!

 

Thank you I reached out to Techart Germany. Let's see if they reply or even have the gauges in US MPH version. If I can't get them I'll try the fvd faces or keep what I have and just send them to be cleaned up.

 

I bought a set a few weeks ago. They do have the US version as long as you don't require the cut out for the daily trip mileage.

 

This is not the case with the silver ones. I just installed them and the cutouts are just as dark as the Tequipment gauges.

One thing I noticed however is that the Techart speedo is more 'optimistic', i.e. I will need to adjust the needle to show the speed more accurately.

 

I ordered them from Techart in California. Great expirence with Techart. I received them in less than a week "on clearance" from Germany for $300 including shipping! Cutouts are just as dark as stock. Only differences are the KMH indicators are blue font, high beam indicator is oval and no VDO markings. Now my guages are headed to PA speedometer for a refresh and refinished chrome inner rings and outer steel grey bezels.
