I'm playing around w/the idea of making a custom gauge face using electroluminescent film, but do NOT feel comfortable removing my needles to get a good scan of the stock faces. Does anyone have a template, or is anyone willing to scan their (USDM) gauge face at actual size for me? Or mail me their stock overlays if they have any laying around? (I'd return them to ya). Anyone?

I looked last night on my way home, our stock tach actually has 4 hash marks between each number, so actually mine is correct, the circle w/the hash marks just needs to be rotated to space the hash marks evenly between each x1000 indicator.

Keep me updated on your LED quest... The even backlighting is part of what started this all, well that and that I just haven't been in love w/any of the aftermarket overlays I've seen, or the ones I have liked aren't anywhere to be found any more! I'm still pretty hot for this EL film backlighting idea, but I'm still searching for the best and least expensive source for the film especially since this is still in the trial stage. If enough people dig this and want in on it, naturally it'll cost less to produce if I can buy materials in larger quantities.
