Re: WTB:60-63 speedo cluster w/manual gauges

Try the stuff they use on the plastic headlight restoration. Its made by mothers. I had very good results with it. There are a few companies that make the new guage decals for for the speedos. If you can find one, let me know...I believe I have a couple speedo faces in a box...somewhere.

Re: WTB:60-63 speedo cluster w/manual gauges

Take the lens out

Take it to a jewelry store

Ask them to buff it out with "Crystal Sheen"

If it will clean up that stuff will do it guaranteed.

I know since for 40 years I was a custom jeweler.
