Replacement instrument faces. - Dave Mann - 18-03-2020
I think it was on this forum I came across a website with replacement instrument faces that could be printed off, can I find it now! Anybody any clues?

Been looking for this myself, Thanks Dave for enquiring (should have myself) and to Jamie for doing the footwork.

On a related note, can anyone advise on how to safely remove the needle of a PA speedo?
Not hopeful about what we'll find inside - It's been sitting in water for rather a long time!
RE: Replacement instrument faces. - Mike Costigan - 19-03-2020
The needle is just a push-fit on the spindle, so in theory it just needs prising off ... famous last words!

Martin. You may find it looks a bit like the Antikythera Mechanism inside when you finally tease it apart. Good Luck!

Martin,
if it doesn't JUST prize off, then you need a needle puller. You can either make one or they are available commercially.
Hope this is of help.

On the speedometer which I have just refurbished, I held the metal disc which the magnets drag aound and gently twisted the needle back and forth, pulling at the same time. It came of fairly easily. Admittedly, mine was a later model and yours may not have the disc to grip.

Martin I used a tack removal tool to remove the needle and a bit of cloth to protect the face.
