Hi Martyn, Yes, I purchased 8BA brass screws off EbayUK, printed new face on paper on my laser printer. cut it out, laid over old face, put glass in, snapped on bezel.
Looks like I need to line it up better, but fairly easy work.
I think the overlay needs to be unattached to old face to allow for thermal expansion.
I think the 8BA were 7/16 or 1/2..........too long..........cut off with Dremel........just screwed directly into existing holes where old black screws came out.
Putting the revised gage directly on the scanner makes this photo look a little smashed......optical problem with scanners.
I might shortened the needle by bending the lower sections.
I also have old original Miller ammeters that have failed graphics. I will be fitting them with new graphics as well.

seems if you have a repro meter you should swap out the Philips head screws for cheeseheads. Martyn
