Re: Ammeter ? for Doc Watson (ANDY)

Hi Steve,

I used scarlet coloured paint and a brush. Spraying was too awkward.
I have a period correct original 40 CAV Ammeter with the black adjustment screw.
You are correct, the black scew is used to zero the gauge. You will notice, there are differences between the gauge face of a period correct Ammeter and the Ammeter shown in the photos, in terms of position of screws holding the faceplate on, font and
scale layout. But hell, the ones we are talking about are close enough for me.
The remaining gauges, Speedo, Tacho, Fuel Gauges, Oil, Water etc,
are part of a batch i had remanufactured for myself and a few friends.
