Hi, it's that guy with the 58 buick again. I'm rebuilding the instrament cluster and every thing tests ok. The problem that I have is the numbers on the odometer. I have one gear with two broken teeth wich I think I can fix with epoxy, but I don't know what to do with the faded numbers. I have seen number stickers on ebay at one time but no manufacturer. Does anyone know who makes these or should I paint them and try to find dry transfer numbers? Does any one make odometer number parts for old cars? Any help is welcome.
thanks.

Check with some of the speedometer rebuiders. They might be able to supply a new odometer drum (which could be pretty each to swap out), or a "rebuilt" one or similar. I don't think the dry transfer number option is a viable one. Not sure about the decal one, either. You might find some deals on eBay, but dealing with a reputable speedometer rebuilder can be better in the long run.

Just some thoughts,
