Custom Guages
Just a quick one! I'm looking for a company that makes custom gauges. I'm after something like the normal smiths gauges, but I want them to
have a different symbol in place of the smiths bit. I've tried Google, but either my googling skills are rubbish, or I'm looking in the
wrong places.
What I'm after, assuming Gaz/Aeon will let me, is to put the Epona symbol like this
 
epona horse
in the bottom of a smiths gauge like this one
 
smiths water temp
I would do it in photoshop to give a better idea, but I don't have a copy of it any more.

Assuming that you can get the gauges apart, can you get your own design printed onto acetate or some other plastic, then stick it on?
I seem to remember Changing Rooms getting people's own phots printed onto plastic film then backlighting them like slides

oooh someone did have a link on here for a company... you went on the website and you designed your gauges on there, and could then order them...
can't for the life of me think where it was though

Already looked at them, and if I were after digital gauges, they would be perfect. However, I don't really like digital gauges at all. I much
prefer a proper row of mechanical gauge needles swinging about!

Whilst all the companies posted have a custom service, literally all I want is a smiths gauge with the Epona badge in/on them! Looks like it might be
easier to dismantle some gauges and see about getting the symbol printed/painted on some how.

Have a word with ETB they make the guages for Tiger so may do something for you at a price. Thier standard guages are similar to Smiths but do not
have any manufacturers logo.
