Does anyone know if the backing on our speedo/taco cards has a special paint. Speedo on mine is fading and has a few spots. Taco is fine. Rarely parked in sun, Thanks.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationI don't know about the paint or which dial you need, but sometimes dials are available on ebay. Ed

Taco and speedo work like new.Faceplate of Taco is spot on. The speedo faceplate has faded a little and backlighting is not as strong as taco. Seems to have a few blotchy holes a few mm round showing through card.
It is green on back of faceplate. Standard 3 watt push in bulbs are only ones ever used,Never had anything nasty spilt on the speedo.
Checked out those sites and of course nothing for a Zephyr.Found some in Germany for about $40 - $ 50 total cost but problem is they are all white - want to stick to black. Will disassemble soon and see what i can do. Thought the backing of faceplate may have some sort of luminous green paint on it,
Thanks for your replies.
