    The gauges in the old 54 work great but I would like to have the faces redone and have a white background with contrasting black numbers and letters. Any ideas / suggestions on how or who could do a good job modifying of the gauges?

    Help is always appreciated.

    Thanks,
    JP

    Man you were right!
    $250 for just the faces
    $850 for a complete redo including upgrade to 12 volt.

    They did cause me to have another question....

    If you convert the electrical system to 12 volt with an alternator can you still use your amp gauge? If not what can you use in its place that will fit into the existing amp gauge location?

    Yep,you can use your original amp gauge. As my dad used to say,volts is volts, amps is amps.
