Looks v nice. 

My speedo is a 110 one, bought it from DSS ages ago.  if I put a 120 face on it, like yours, it's going to read wrongly or won't it make much difference?  What is the opinion of the speedo experts?

Received my clocks back today. New faces fitted, everything cleaned inside and out and a general refurb. I'm really pleased with them, they look so much better. A great job done.

Thanks, I'm really chuffed with them. They look what I would call 'sympathetically restored'
They look nice and clean and bright but with the old mileage numbers, they still look old. Best of both worlds I think.

Fitted my refurbed clocks today, also treated myself to some nice new clock backs. All in, I'm very pleased with the outcome, Peter did a great job on fitting Marcel's clock faces and overhauling the clocks.

  You will need to ask Peter (Kent400) as he did the refurb for me.

I used satin black spray on mine.  They look authentic enough.

Those look right nice now, but i like my old 350 ones because when the needles have moved from the rest position you have two shadows where the surface has not faded on the clock faces, where it had not been moved for many years, strange how such simple things please us.
