Akstraw Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 The gauge faces on my 2.5 in. dia. Roller Smith Ammeter and Voltmeter on the 1932 Detroit Electric were too yellowed to photocopy without getting a gray background, so I had a graphic artist redraw them for me. These are paper faces which, on the original, are glued to brass backing plates in the gauge. I did not even bother to remove the originals, I simply flipped the brass plate around and glued my new cardstock faces to the opposite side. It turned out pretty well. I have had a number of spare faces printed up. PM me if you are interested in a set. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Nice work. I'm always disappointed when I look inside what looks like a well restored car and the gauges are not refinished to the same standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
