Default Replacement Glass for Original Amp meter

Looking for a source of replacement glass for original amp meter. Checked vendors catalogs but did not find replacement glass.

Thanks - Hunter

Mark,

Just checked their website. They have face plate and surrounding ring but did not locate glass.

Thanks

Just looked in my junkbox of dash panel odds and ends. Found to glasses for ampmeters. Dont know if they are original or repop, but just need to be cleaned. Would that help? For the price of postage. ken

Ken,

That is a super offer. Where could I send the $ ? Would $5.00 cover it?

Thanks - Hunter

Hardware stores used to stock small round glass for flashlights and guages. I don't know if they still do, but it's worth a try.

This at this point should be a private message thing, but, I cant get it to work. Electronically challenged!

Send me a self addressed stamped envelope. $2.00 of postage should more than cover it. Ken Parker 607 Oklahoma St, Van, TX 75790
