So I decided to give a try at Restoring my Speedwell gauges, so I tried my Temp Gauge, well after I did it I am very happy how it turned out, i even tested it and it works great.

Thornton, Are you doing all the work yourself? I am impressed! Why don't you tell us all how to do it as I have a lot of gauges I need to restore as well!

Thanks,

Jerry

Hi Jerry
I Did all the work myself yes. I havent done a electric gauge yet, but i will. The red needle empi gauges I couldnt figure out how to get them apart, i think the bezel is adhesived to the housing so i didnt attempt those.

before shot of all 3 gauges including the one i did earlier.

Hey Thornton,

Do you have a tool to work the bezels? when ever I have tried to deal with gauges, I always screw up the bezel... so I have stopped trying.

What's the secret?
