Are gauge needles available for purchase?

[Puma]

Well after I did a perfect job of restoring my gauges I was putting the rpm back together and a tiny err was made. Now my rpm needle is bent. I "straightened" it but it doesn't look perfect. Grrrr...

For those who want to restore their gauges I'll say that it's pretty easy. Just don't accidentally catch the needle on anything.

My question is: can I swap out the needle and can I buy only a needle new, as opposed to buying another rpm gauge and swapping the needle?

Thanks!

Try Contacting NoHo Speedo, I bet thy sell parts you may need.

IMHO, the needle looks pretty straight to me, your OCD must be worse than mine

Or..buy a roaches out used tach and use it. BTW, what did you restore on the gauges?

These were roached out. Lol.
I stripped the bezels, then re-painted. They were really rusty. Painted the needles. Polished the glass inside and out. Used a dry brush to get 48 years of dust. Turned out really well.

The poor lighting makes it look much better. I will call them but I doubt they'll sell 'em without me sending the gauges in for service. I asked them to sell me needle paint and they wouldn't do it.
