<VV> SPeedo dial was FC pinion shaft gear & odometer

[BBRT]

I have a suggestion.  There are shops that take a computer file like a 
diagram or picture or emblem and using a transfer like a decal, bake it onto 
cups, coffee mugs, T shirts, etc. That is how I make my Yankyer Stinger T 
shirts with my own modified "Bee" and broken Stinger.

I would they could do a transfer onto a blank speedo face that you would 
provide.
