Original Instruments?

Original engine instruments were automotive. There are a number of suppliers of automotive instruments made in vintage styles. Flight instrument styles haven't changed much and you can still buy them, although the cheap ones are made in China and are of low quality. Probably better to rebuild an original if you have it. All the original instruments had radium dials so the numbers glowed in the dark. They stopped making those when the workers started developing cancer, so that is a feature you won't often see in restorations.

Afternoon everyone,

Hope everyone is doing well. Time to ramp up and start restoring in earnest. Where/how can I purchase the original instruments used back in '46? Goal is to return the panel to as original as possible. 



Thanks!
