    Refurbishing 1980 GS850G Instruments

    My GS850G rebuild is close to complete but I just found that the fuel gauge needs work.
    I have taken the instrument cluster to a reputable repairer/restorer shop.Howard Instruments in Melbourne, Australia
    They pointed out that the fuel gauge face needs restoring as it has specks of rust but also said it could be some months before they complete that as their screen printer has loads of work.

    I don't want to wait months but want the bike to look sharp as the rest of the work has come along well.
    Any ideas will be welcomed.
    Can I buy new instrument faces anywhere?

    I don't know of anyone who may remake gauge faces. I may have a spare fuel gauge face or complete gauge. Let me check tonight.

          The only one I have is a little faded.

            rustybronco:
            That is very good compared to the one that I have.
            I managed to find a used tachometer with fuel gauge here in Australia.
            It should arrive in next couple of days.
            If the gauge face is ok then I am good.
            If not I hope I can come back to you. A thousand thanks for checking
