Default Fonts for oil pressure gauge

Hi Tony,

You beat me to it! Just remembered I had a photo of an earlier speedo I sold which I was going to use for the style of numerals.

Thanks for that photo. Better than mine and should be easy to make a similar looking oil pressure gauge face in keeping with the period.

My misunderstanding was a need to convert the later 0-80 psi gauge to the earlier 0-50 psi. I guess there still is a need in view of the availability of the later gauges if people still run the 50 psi pumps.

Note: I have attached 0-80 psi gauge face to resemble an earlier 0-50 psi face. Think I got the "3" and "8" OK from the speedo photos. Not sure if the top of the "8" has some fill in but it can easily be changed. I darkened it slightly over previously posted versions too.
I found by scaling this photo to 25% before printing, it matches my later 0-80 gauge face perfectly.

Cheers,
