I like it, was thinking of doing the same thing myself, make up some blue ones with black numbers, what did you print onto?

that was just regular printer paper, but since I did it Its curled up (although I didn't stick in on properly) Its a good job I did it on an old speed first as an experement because I'd definity advise some decent photo paper or the some nice heavy 120+GSM. I can send the speedo template to you if you like, not taken my clock apart yet to try that out!

Wouldn't mind a copy of the template myself. Could you email it to club8090@aircooledcrazy.com please?
Cheers

Had a few requests for this so I thought I'd just put it straight on here from now on, Hopefully rest of the dials will be following! As soon as I get the clock apart I will be offering full custom faces at a small cost (mainly P&P) ready to fit. If anyone has a clock out and could do a face scan of it I would be mucho happy and a free set of faces would be avaliable for you. This also goes for Air cooled clocks, Rev counters in posh models and actually, any car you may want them designed for!

But, heres the speedo face for anyone who wnts to have a go themselfs! :D
