Peter Truman Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 I can find the cosmetically restored gauges with white/magnolia faces ex Denmark at around 230 GBP, these aren't mech overhauled which I don't need anyway but it seems a waste replacing the whole of the gauges, as here in Aus the gauge bodies don't suffer the inevitable surface rust I see on UK used stock. Some time ago I saw a reference to or site where only the gauge faces were offered for sale in Magnolia can anyone point me in the right direction, I think all Spit models individual faces were available. Reason the daughter thinks the Magnolia faced gauges will look good with her actual black carbon fiber finished dash . Peter T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanMi Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 or these guys overhauled my speedo and they say they can print faces in any colour/font on rebuilt units so again maybe they would supply the faces. https://www.classicsparesengineering.co.uk/about-us.php#services Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
