Allright, I printed your guage out at 10.003CM on Photoshop, here's what I See....
0mph is at 1-2mph, the 10mph is in the middle of the real 10 and 15mph, the 15mph is in the middle of the real 15 and 20mph line. the 20mph line is at the real 22mph. the 25mph line is at the real 27mph line, the 30mph line is at the real 32mph area, 35mph line is at the real 37mph area, Every other number is 1mph difference until you get to 80, 80mph is totaly even and then everything from there is 1mph lower then the real speed.

Was that acurate enough Paul? If not just say so, I can find a way to stick the guage printout to the stock ones and scan them with light shinning through for you if you want...it will just take me some time to get the scanner. My brother has one so I could use his.

MIA, if you have scans, what after print is absolutly correct on real gauges, please send me it (with odometer holes).

The guages I have been making are more exact then yours. not completely, but most of the dials actualy touch the right spots, if you want them, I'll send them to you, Unless you want me to get you a picture of what I'm talking about. I'm sure I can glue the paper to the guages and shine a light through them while scanning them to get the acuracy right. But when you printout my guages at 10cm, almost every dial is touching its real spot.
