New gauge face plate or restoration - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Roberty · 05-09-2003, 02:29 PM

Does anybody know of a place that sells new gauge face plates or offers face plate restorations? I have a speed alert speedometer and would like to buy/restore the face plate before I put it in my tach cluster. I am not interested in the new white face plate look - I want to keep it sock looking.
Thanks, Robert

Here's a thought to consider....contact Mr. G's at 5613 Elliot Reeder Rd. Fort Worth, Texas. They can rechrome, weld, paint & detail plastic parts. Phone # is (817) 831-3501 or e-mail at mrgs@mrgusa.com . I used them on a plastic dash restoration on another make/model some time ago and the returned final product was excellent....just a thought considering you want to retain your original dash face........hope this helps!!

Hi 7T1BURB. What I was talking about was the gauge face like shown below - not the whole gauge and not the outer bezel. These are metal faces not plastic, I believe.
Thanks

Yup...your right! Rereading your post again I see its for the guage face plates and not the dash bezel...how quickly the mind goes with age!!!! Oh well-----

Correct me if I am wrong... but I think ILUVJUNK on here can help you out. I know he makes white faced gages and blue... for sure, but I thought he could make them whatever color you wanted. You might private message him about doin it for ya.. HE does good work!!! Trevor
