The center of my speedometer needle is faded. Does anyone know where to buy a replacement needle, or a paint for the faded center?
Thanks

I've used Testors model paint and even a dayglow orange Sharpie. Some have said paint is heavy so thin it or try the Sharpie :)
 
I heard that Nisonger lost equipment from a flood so are they up and running. Garmins are cheap, accurate and availability is great.
 
hadn't heard that, they just rebuild the complete set of gauges for an Aston Martin DB5 project that I'm involved in. Another option would be Palo Alto speedometer...
 
I think I have it since I am getting an alpine speedo, where the needle appears to be the same. I haven't received it yet, so I don't know.

Thanks.
 
The alpine s3 to SV use the same needles.
Triumph spitfire and some midgets too iirc.

The early alpines also use the same needle but the arm is white and needs to be painted red

Austin Healey 3000 Mk3 used the same needle as well! The spare needle I have came from a ser.V speedo
