Vanishing Numbers on 1939 Sedan

Hi Guys

So the re assembly of my 1939 sedan is continuing at the workshop. The dash has been wood grained . There is a heap of photos in my gallery folder. However when they washed the instrument glass in some warm water all the numbers for the dash gauges washed away:(. This was just in water no soap or solvent!! Does anyone have a contact or a file for the transfer so we can replace the speedometer and other gauge numbers on the glass. It appears that in the 1939 the numbers were printed directly or screen printed onto the glass. I have looked at Bobs Automobilia on line catalog and they have replacements for a lot of years except 1939.

I attach some photos here of the wood gaining on the dash as well.

My wife is an accountant but these numbers have her beat !!!

Cheers and thanks for the help

Do you remember if you had the early or later type ??

Early went to 100 MPH, later went to 120 MPH.

Yeah those numbers wipe off extremely easily. Neither of mine are 100% either. Gotta be very careful.

I can lend you a sample at the end of next week. Will take in to Terry

There are 10MPH & 20 MPH graduation version's

Grant re did his on the coupe

I've contacted the fella on Danny's link, and for what I was quoted, I may give him a shot.

A couple of glasses that I've bought over the years. Check what the glass looks like before you buy it. Not a fan of the second version.

We just got our glass from Bobs from memory. Sometimes if you call Bob, you find there are parts in stock that aren't listed in the catalogue.

I got my glass from these folks a week or so ago. Excellent quality. I have updated dash photos in my restoration thread. They only carry the 15 mph version.
