take them to a kinko's copies and get them scanned at 300+ DPI

I'll be happy to do a conversion of the originals, but it would be best to have them scanned at 300 dpi or better.

Okay... here are a couple versions. Here are 2 versions. The print version gives you the black outline to cut off the image after printing (saves on your black ink too hehe)

I did both blue and black for ya.

Blue markings version:

and the black markings version:

Print version:

**Note** When I tried overlaying the American speedometer over the KPH one you provided in this, they were different. Our KPH markings were lower by 5-10 kph or so on the dial. So this is not direcly interchageable with the American version since your speed would be off.

If there is interest I'll put together American speedometer setup if someone wants.

actually, you print the white gauges on photo paper and then the white lights up, leaving the dark numbers. if you can find it, i reccommend putting some "prism paper" behind it (like the material an overhead projector is made from) to diffuse the light better. here is a pic of what they look like (sorta)...

bright green

darker green

find us a pic of the color green you want and it can be done. these are rough examples as they do not have the red lines at the minimum gas level or the max temp level
