This  metric speedo thread is interesting. Along a similar vein, I was  
investigating re-lettering of the lower center instrument lens (fuel /  
vacuum) to 
change the vacuum side to oil pressure markings.  Remember  the Communique 
tech-tip I did on the installation of an oil pressure gauge  in place of the 
vacuum 
gauge?  I was looking at silk-screen printing  the lens with the correct 
marking, 
but never progressed beyond the talking  stage.  Anyone have a silkscreen 
contact "up their sleeve"?  I  watched an artist make one and use it. It was 
pretty 
straightforward, as I  recall. (though it always looks easy when an expert is 
doing  something)
Thoughts anyone???

I'll bet there is a market for a replacement Speedometer lens for the Corsa  
Dash (Where the Speedo has it's own, individual, lens) that goes from Zero to, 
 say, 180 or 200 MPH. It could be supplied with instructions for a speedo  
shop to re-calibrate the speedo itself. That would be a trip, even if the car is 
 "unlikely" to see that speed. It would be like making the volume control on 
the  amplifier go to eleven! - Seth
