standard ford anglia speedo

[tododavies]

does anyone know where i can get some new number stickers for my speedo, they have worn out a bit :(

They are painted on in reverse. I repainted mine a while ago. Bought the smallest brush I could find in an art shop and went from there.

[tododavies]

better get a brush then i think, i was going to see if i could get some transfers from an airfix kit or something along those lines. i do like jobs like that but it must have taken you a while? :)

[Ken B]

It was pretty hard actually. The main problem where i got a splodge and needed to wipe/clean of excess, it took off the original paint as well, as thats all very fragile after 40+ years. So I was making it worse at one point. but got there in the end.

Must be a 140 km/h speedo and MPH speedo mix. Looks good Ken B!

You’ve given the secret away Svein!!! Still not got it fitted yet. A job for winter.

Known Brian personally since 1979, but used to watch him race well before that. Remember Paul and Wayne in nappies too!!!

Lol, nowt wrong with a trusty boat anchor in the Anglebox as long as your willing to chop the baulkhead out and use good old Escort mk2 front suspension/steering. :lol: :wink: :wink: I should know, done it enough times in the past :oops: :oops: :wink: :wink: :lol:

Mind you that combination does make a nice everyday car :oops: ye ha, i’ll get me coat now. :roll:

Nice Bus Ken! No wonder you’ve opted for Anglia vans – they’re a bit easier to do a 3 point turn in……
