I finally found a company to make replacement lenses for Airguide Speedometers I am also having the most common pointer reproduced. See the Special Pre-Production prices at http://www.classicboatwork.com/as/as.html These prices will remain in effect until the product is delivered. Delivery is expected in early June, 2012 Thank you, Dean Classic Boatworks |

AT,
I use 1/16" brass rod. Cut off 1/4 inch then put a dab of good glue, I use epoxy on the back to hold in place. Make sure it is straight and let it dry. I round off the edges with a file. Dean |

I am in the process of getting art work done for the "miles" on the outside dial, "MasterCraft" logo, and "Malibu" logo dials done. If someone will send me a "Correct Craft" logo dial I will get that too. Another alternative is a really good scan, 600 dpi (don't shrink it down). The dial outside diameter (O.D.) should be
3 5/32". These are for Model 2025 speedometers. Dean coolboats@classicboatwork.com |

Dean, 2025's are the plastic gauges with the smaller dials, right? I have the faceplates that I can send you (3 different Correct Craft styles, actually). I still havent been over to check out those exhaust tips, by the way- I havent forgotten!

Yikes, 3 styles? Is one more prevalent than the others? Cost me about $150 to $200 per dial... Maybe a little less if the artwork is simple.

Are the black and white the same script just different colors?

Nope. The black faced one is script (cursive) and the 90-93 white faced one is block lettering.

Of course not. If you send them to me I will at least get the scans and make as I can. I will return them of course.
Thanks, Dean coolboats@classicboatwork.com |

Dean, The white Airguide 725 face plates are really great.
They are a tad heavier gauge than the aluminum faces on the MPH 725's. But, I don't see that as a problem. Considering my mailman, it actually turned out to be a huge plus! I'll post a photo soon, |

Kristof,
We are behind schedule. The first batch was done incorrectly so it was back to the drawing board. I was told last week we are "close". Dean |

Hi Folks, Here's what your Airguides would look like, if you had a pair of Dean's CB-4477's for your '72 thru '76 Ski Nautique.
In the photo below, you'll notice that we are traveling at exactly 27.5 miles per hour.  |

That's just exactly what I was thinking Marty!
I still have one on an old white T-helm bezel. |

I only see you are traveling at exactly 44 kilometres per hour...   I'm still waiting on mine...  Especially now there's condensation in my right speedo and I can't see anything on it anymore... |

I'm trying to find out the status! Appears these lenses proved to be a real challenge. Maybe this is why so many said they can't make them?

Or maybe thats why the last ones at least, are plastic.
I'll need one too when you get them in.

While all of you (ya’ll) have tearing up the lakes of America in your boats we have been working on improving your Airguide experience. We have added a page of Airguide speedometer restoration parts for the do it yourself kind of guy saving you many dollars in labor. We also provide an eBook guide to repair and restore your Airguide speedometer. Most products are pending and should be arriving in the near future.
We even made some T-shirts with Airguide speedometer dials. Quantities and sizes are limited to test demand. Check it out and let us know what you think http://www.classicboatwork.com/classicparts/gauges/gauges.html |

Dean, I never got a chance to thank you for the second set of airguide grommets you posted over (after the cat probably ate the first one that went missing)
For anyone else finding it difficult to source these, I certainly did in UK, these are available through Deans website at a low price |
