Reply to "Need MPH gauge face for Si speedometer"

Simplest thing to do is get an reprint from Hall with the white letters, Pantera 200mph face and just replace it. It probably is an absolute replacement -except- the odometer and tripometer windows will have to be extended (since the odo is now 6 digits, and the tripometer on the electronic is a different mechanism and the spacing of the digits is wider...). Using a diamond file and widening the windows in the aluminum face is not hard at all. I did this having fun converting a Goose speedo to electronic (see attached video).

Or, get a swap kit from a Ferrari https://www.ebay.com/itm/28268...4:g:Wo0AAOSwbYZib5Sb and punch more holes for the idiot lights.

  Of course, only changing the face means that the Odo will still count KM, and there is no practical way to separate the motor for the ODO from the Speedo drive (on Veglia electronic speedometers that this one certainly uses). So then yes, the electronic "speedometer calibrator" David suggests will work fine, even if the working range for the speedo is really small...! A lot of people sell something that should work, seems to be a big market for motorcycles (and will glue directly in and work with Veglia). And can be used to calibrate tire size changes at the same time. https://www.ebay.com/itm/14355...p2060353.m1438.l2649



I'd be interested too in getting a custom dial made, I'm sure you could (printed on vinyl (Heiler prints on plastic substrate, or 'Aufkleber' versions as well). I think there is a place in Australia and another in the southern US that may also...My experience with N. Hollywood was as yours, a quote from PA to create a new silkscreen or pad print (whichever) was very pricey...). But it seems that some people will just use electronic print directly.  You would need to start with a scan of the dial you have now, and someone will first create new artwork with 100 at 12:00, work to get the colors right, etc--Lee

(ps, finally for my 'no reason to finish it but Covid pins me at home' Goose speedo, I decided against a later Electronic Veglia (as in the video...its just a few millimeters deeper than the can itself) and when I instead used a generic programmable speedometer (based on a stepper motor for the speedo and LCD display for the Odo that first where the tripometer is...). When I have absolutely nothing to do, I'll probably finish it, then put in on the shelf with my stepper motor Tach...)
