AutoMeter Gauge #4489-M - but with black facing?

[CruizinKev]

At the moment my project stands still because cold winter over here in Germany.
So now I'm looking around, search for parts I want and writing my parts-lists and things like that. Now I need some help from you guys finding me some black facing gauges for my 59/60 Impala dashboard I'm building for my 79 Monte Carlo.

this is a 59/60 impala gauge pod with autometer gauges:

I want the same thing but with black face gauges.


So, I'm looking for a AutoMeter Speedometer (Part# 4489-M):

Its the only 5" Speedometer with KPH scale that Autometer has. Only available in silver. I need KPH scales because I'm in Germany.

But I want that Speedometer with a black face - something like AutoMeter's Part# 3990 Tachometer "Sport-Comp" series.

Already looked on Autometer, all gauges I need are available in "sport-comp" series - but no 5" Speedometer.

Are there any companies outthere that could help me with that? Any ideas?

Thanks,
-Kevin

Hello Kevin,

no still haven't bought any gauges. but you can find them at summitracing.com

I didn't find the metric stewart Warner at Summit, did you?.
I found a shop in Germany selling them but the price was over 400€, much too expensive...

Did anybody modified the stock speedometer and replaced the internal parts by the electronic parts, o keep a stock look? Is it easy to do?

[CruizinKev]

oh looks like summit is kinda out of stock or so? I know they had them before. part no is # 114715

I just posted in the other thread similar to this but thought I would throw it up here as well...

PM me if you are willing to open your gauges up. I can recreate the face in different colors and finishes..
