ALinNY did a beautiful job putting one in his pickup. I'll email him and ask him to check this site.

Mine (shown above in post #3) is an Autometer 2697 (2" diameter). I bought it from Amazon:

I talked to Buzz several years ago about remaking them or learning the process to do it. It's complicated for the 6 volt versions. I did get the electronic file that has the new face from him. |
