hey brad... i'm curious how these go on... Do I just peal off the old face, and add a new one? How do I line it up? Does it work that the CF vinyl doesn't let light through, the gold numbers and the white lines do so lining it up doesn't matter?
Also what about KM/H guages? do you make them?
The CF is vinyl sheet that is cut into the shape of the gauges, and also the numerics are cut out. The middle parts of the 0's and such are pretty hard to keep in place, but I can get it done with a steady hand. I apply this layer to a 1/32" lexan sheet. Then, I apply a clear vinyl front with the numerics printed on them and carefully line then up with the cut lines on the CF vinyl to keep the gauges back lit. Then I can apply a translucent vinyl color to the back for the "glow" color whe the lights are turned on. One false move and I need another print of each layer which = $$$ on this type of set.
I can make KPH only gauges as long as they're the same 130 speedo but reversed to make the KPH the bigger, around the outside set of numerics on the speedo. This does cost extra as I've had only a few requests to have this done and don't plan to offer it as a base set because out of country export is a biaaaaatch. I think it costs an extra $80 or so to send insured to Mexico, don't know about Canada or across the pond. I have no other KPH only speedos scanned and don't plan. People should be able to find a local print shop out of country that should be able to beat my prices by avoiding the import charges.
