    I cant help with the refurb.

    But they do look awesome!
    So cool that waay back then, they made the gage, and says 'speed'. As if the american way of MPH was just a given (and it was). Same with the water temp and oil. Im assuming they were in farenheit/psi respectively.

    I hope i dont sound off, and im NOT old enough to have been there, but looking at the gages just makes me think of a ..simpler time.
    Thanks for the viewing, sorry i am no help, and hope you get them restored to how you want them.
    I guess i just stop and think every now and then when lookin at these old cars.
    Soooo much more than just a hunk of metal.

    (Rereading, i want to confirm that i am American. ;) )
    May have came across odd, but i dig nostalgia.

    That’s why I jumped when I saw them, adds something different but fits anyway.
    Thanks

    Thanks @Bowtie, Williamson’s was a home run. Besides being less on my wallet, Ron knew the gauges by heart.
    Thanks again for the tip

    Redline did a couple panels for me. Mixed feeling about them but happy with this one. So far just used it while practicing my wood graining skills

    but plan on using it for a Model A coupe.

    Just remember the old saying " Pay peanuts, get monkeys". Classic and other quality gauge people aren't cheap, but quality never is. I particularly like Classic's warranty of seven years.

    I hear ya, never said they didn’t do beautiful work, just expensive. William’s has a lifetime transferable warranty and do beautiful work, check out their website.

    You no only helped, you solved my problem.
    Btw, redline is just as pricey as Classic Instruments for future reference.
    Thanks again
