the guages for boost/fuel and oil/water are simply two thin sheets of acrylic

however the speedo and tacho dial faces appear to be printed acrylic..
this means that witha rub down with fine wet n dry will leave you witha clear plastic plate which you can then have re-printed. The warning lamps are coloured by removable sheets of couloured acrylic.

im going to try an find someone who can print these up as im interested now i've got it all apart:D i think a signwriter will do the job.. fingers crossed...

but if you have a scanner on your computer you can scan it? I think I can do some white layouts in photoshop if you give me a scanned picture.. if I make a whole white layout, we can lay it on top of the old one and light it up with UV lights;) will look neat I think:)

then itll be printed on paper and any lighting effect applied to it will become grainy. I do have a scanner but in the interestts of keeping the ciomputer simple its gone back in the cupboard for the time being.. i will see if it fits on the scanner bed later, for now its the morning after the night before:confused:
