Lightbulb Heater Controls and Dial Templates Needed

Does anybody have any templates on their computer for the Dials (Speedo,Revs,Fuel,Temp) and Heater Controls for the Cinq Sporting? I've knackered the Heater Controls scratching the green filter off so need to print some new ones on acetate and thought before I spend hours swearing at photoshop someone might have already beaten me to it! Also doing my own clocks will be cheaper than buying lockwoods so could do with that template if any one has them?
OE items just won't let red light through them
Cheers

Re: Heater Controls and Dial Templates Needed

Right Ive photoshopped some mock ups of the heater controls I'll be trial fitting them with paper tomorrow to see how they look before printing them onto acetate designed for Inkjet printers. As for Dials I have not made a mock up but will do using the Lockwood Template that I found kicking around on google . All should hopefully go well and that will be my dash done, except colour coding .

Re: Heater Controls and Dial Templates Needed

Following Conversation with Little Red Devil I would like to point out that enlarging a Jpeg image will cause blur of the lines but there is a way to combat this if you are using Photoshop.
Image > Image Size > Pixels/Inch add a larger number of pixels and the blur will lessen, as a baseline I have used 360 pixels per inch but a higher number could be used.

Re: Heater Controls and Dial Templates Needed

those abarth ones you did are very nice.though i would be tempted by a different back ground if it were for mine.either white as i have now or maybe yellow though using yellow would lose the impact of the abarth logo.maybe white.

Re: Heater Controls and Dial Templates Needed

The way I'm making them I need a black background as I dont want the whole lot to light up red with my LEDs at night, only the numbers and white lines. Plus Im struggling to replace the black background with white and white lines and numbers with Red so thats my best effort. Thanks for the good comment on the Dials. Heater Controls are just a means to an end really!
