JAGUAR PROJECT INFO In response to some requests, I have begun developing some new overlays for restoring Smiths gauges. These overlays are made in the same manner as other overlays in my other gauge overlay pages. All overlays are printed on vinyl with a self-adhesive back and a matte (non-glare) UV resistant finish. Great care is taken to get an accurate, original looking overlay. Applying a vinyl overlay can be an inexpensive way of restoring a gauge that otherwise might never be restored. Most small gauges use TWO overlay pieces for each gauge. The front piece is made to cover the portion of the gauge with text, but there is a thin curved portion that will not be covered. That area will be exposed, so you will probably need to paint it. Large Speedometer or Tachometer faces are sometimes made as one piece or two pieces depending on the style. More faces can be added. If you need a Smiths face not shown, have questions or if you can help contribute, please email. Overlay installation information may be found near the bottom: CLICK HERE. |
JAGUAR XK PROJECT INFO This customer supplied an original speedo and tach face for an XK 140, with a request to develop some overlay faces. The XK 120, 140 and 150 shared some gauges, however some were certainly different from these. Overlay installation information may be found near the bottom: CLICK HERE. |

1963-64 JAGUAR E-TYPE This customer needed an oil pressure gauge. He had a Smiths donor gauge with an incorrect rear face plate, which was to be converted (FIRST photo). I developed the overlay to match the correct gauge based on information supplied by the customer (SECOND photo). The customer then installed the overlay on the rear face plate. The LAST photo shows this installation. The front face plate was not restored at this time, however it can now be done as well (CLICK HERE). |

MORGAN PROJECT INFO A customer with a 1966 Morgan 4/4 was in need of a new face for a temperature gauge. Since a temp sender for the Morgan gauge is NLA, his plan was to place the overlays on a Triumph or MG/B gauge using a sender that was still available. Most small gauges use TWO overlay pieces for each gauge. The front piece is made to cover the portion of the gauge with text, but there is a thin curved portion that will not be covered. That area will be exposed, so you will probably need to paint it. More faces can be added. If you need a Smiths face not shown, have questions or if you can help contribute, please email. 1966 MORGAN 4/4 The font style that was used on this gauge for Morgan is different from other Smiths gauges on this page. Also this temp gauge has two limiting pins, which can be seen better in the third photo below. The restoration overlays below are available with the holes for these pins or without the holes. Limiting pins do NOT need to be removed prior to installing an overlay. The overlay without pin holes is offered in case you want to install it on a temp gauge without the limiting pins or if you plan to remove them permanently. |

TRIUMPH PROJECT INFO In response to requests I have begun developing some new overlays for restoring Smiths or Jaeger Triumph gauges. These overlays are made in the same manner as other overlays in my other Volvo gauge overlay pages. All overlays are printed on vinyl with a self-adhesive back and a matte (non-glare) UV resistant finish. Applying a vinyl overlay can be an inexpensive way of restoring a gauge that otherwise might never be restored. Most small gauges use TWO overlay pieces for each gauge.

INSTALLATION INFORMATION The below information will offer some general information on how these overlays work. At this time I do not have specific instructions for disassembling the above Smiths gauges, however I have created disassembly instructions for other gauges. Those are listed below. They should help with your general understanding of how overlays will work for these gauges.
This guide will help explain the techniques used to install an overlay on a BOWL shaped face plate. This shaped face has a higher degree of difficulty than a flat face plate. Please inquire if you prefer to send the plates to me your overlay installation. The headlamp jewel needs to be removed from the speedo face first. It's held in with a thin washer, which can be carefully pried up and off from the back. Be careful of the limit pin when placing the face plate down on a surface to work on it. That pin can be bent easily. CLEAN the faceplate well. If any raised debris or specks of dirt remain, they will be seen as a bump in the surface of the vinyl. Try test-fitting the overlay first so you can become more familiar with the holes. When lining up the overlay, the limit pin is inserted first, then the three center holes are lined up. Try to center the pin and holes as best you can. Lifting the overlay back up and off is OK, Just be careful. It will want to stick pretty strongly. Once it's centered, rub the center flat area down with your fingers. Then rub the furthest outer edges down. DO NOT PUSH THE OVERLAY INTO THE BOWL YET. The next step requires a hair drier or heat gun. A hair drier is preferred. A heat gun can be used, but a heat gun can get too hot, so caution is needed. It needs to be on low heat. While using a hair drier to warm the furthest outer edges of the overlay, slowly rub your thumb along the outer edge and then slowly and gently fold the outer area of the overlay down into the bowl. Do this for a small portion at a time as you rub with your thumb around the outer perimeter over and over and over and around and around. DO NOT PUSH THE OVERLAY DOWN where it's near the center flat area. Work only on the OUTER AREA first and then move slowly toward the center. Take your time and go slowly. The vinyl will stretch pretty easily when warmed up. You should be progressing about two or three millimeters for each revolution. You can warm up a small section, then rub, then warm up another section, then rub. When you reach the raised rivet holding the limit pin wire, warm it up and pressed down with your thumb so the vinyl forms over it. This is the tach face above. Before you reach the bottom of the bowl on THIS face, you'll notice that air will tend to get trapped under the overlay. There needs to be a place for the air to escape, so in this image above I have used my sharp hobby knife to poke a very small hole in the "1" to help the air escape. The speedo will NOT have this problem of trapping air, because the hole for the headlamp jewel will allow air to escape. So don't cover up that hole with vinyl until the very end. Using a slow and careful technique, you can avoid getting air trapped under the overlay, but it still might happen. If it does, you can poke a couple very tiny holes, apply some heat and rub it down. After the overlay is installed, use a sharp hobby knife (not a dull one) to slowly cut out the hole for the headlamp jewel on the speedo. On the speedo center area, you should warm up the overlay covering the odometer windows and then press the vinyl down to help it form to the shape. Then use a sharp hobby knife (not a dull one) to slowly trim the windows along the edges. That's it. If you have questions, please let me know. CONTACT |
