I've been working on reproducing the speedometer face for the 1937 Dictators and Coupe Express trucks. The artwork for the numbers is done, and I will make water-slide decals for them. I did a CAD layout of the part and had a test part 3D-printed in white nylon. It looks pretty good and the backlighting will work as the nylon is translucent. It seems most of the original parts turned brown or cracked. These should be OK for a long time.
What's the interest level in a new speedometer face? The only work needed will be to pop off the needle, unscrew two small screws, pop out the old part, put in the new part, and reassemble. I do not want to rebuild any speedometers myself, too many other projects here.
