In the event it helps anyone in the future... Had my '36 Ford gauges fully restored/rebuilt but the finished speedo had 2-3 TINY scratches on the glass. The guys that restored them pretty much said the only alternative was to find a replacement glass. I did some digging and found these guys... http://www.cartersclockglass.com/ Send them a bezel and the old glass if you have it and they will hand make a new one. Cost? Like $40. So if you are looking for a replacement gauge glass, they can help.
Like we said in another thread, one little piece at a time will get the car finished, thanks for the info.
Now that is doing some great research! I have been helping a friend with some antique cars and that will come in real handy. Thanks for sharing that nugget of info! KK
As a guy who grew up in a family clock shop, I have just a little experience in this. if it is flat glass have an old glass shop cut it in single pane. In the DFW area, I would use binswanger glass and the cost is shocking cheap, usually just a few bucks. If it is domed, then get online and buy it from a clock and watch supply company.
I use Hardin glass they are a franchise. I can get new mirrors cut or glass for gauges. They just use a circle cutter.
For curved glass gauges just buy the appropriate glass and glue it on your gauge with Krazy Glue. You don't even have to remove the flat glass.
