Speedometer Rebuild

I’m in the process of restoring my 1950 F-2’s instrument cluster, and I need to find a piece for the speedometer. I’ve looked through the original parts catalog and service manuals, and nothing is listed for speedometer internal parts. I also haven’t been able to find a King Seeley Service manual that covers these speedometers.

Im hoping to find a NOS cross shaft, as mine is worn fairly well. Any help would be appreciated.

Also, has anyone found an exact match for the tan instrument face? I’m going to repaint mine and would like to get it perfect.

Search the FTE threads. Years ago there were some discussions about restoring these instrument clusters. Some guys did a great job, with the correct color and some even reproduced the cross hatching.

I’ve looked through them. Most people seem to go with Krylon Almond, but the people who have used it say it is close, not exact. Just curious if anyone has found anything better.
