DIY White-Face Gauges

I'm looking for a couple template files to make white faced gauges. Before you tell me to search- I did, for the last hour. All the posts have dead links and any attached images were of the wrong gauges (110mph, etc.) There are two tech articles on this site relating to this subject. One is a dead link, the other is linked to a canadian site which is no longer supported. There are some gauge templates on the site, but they are all metric, and none are for the 140 speedo.

Here is what I'm looking for: I need the file to do

(1) an 86 Iroc cluster w/145 speedo and 7K tach and
(2) an 89 Trans Am cluster w/140 speedo and 8K tach

Any help or links would be appreciated.

I want a 110 cluster for a 92 rs as well.... but i want it black face w/ white numbers. It seems no one makes these. Maybe we can just get a whole listing of the files people use to create their own gauges...

Nobody? C'mon you're killing me. This post looking for 90-92 gauge scans got a lot of response:

I can't be the only one looking for these. Someone out there has the 145 Camaro speedo and 140 Firebird speedo cluster files. Hook a brother up.

Good news- I found the files. Luckily that was on the ZIP disk I put some of my stuff on before my old computer crashed. I uploaded them here. Some of the files need PhotoShop to be opened. Also, the speedometer does not have a spot on it for the tripometer because mine doesn't work so I covered it up. Feel free to play with them and edit them as you wish.

MetalliCamaro: Thanks, I appreciate it.

Trabbis: I can scan the tach, oil press and water temps, but I don't want to remove the trip odometer rod so the speedo will sit flat on the scanner.

Anyone got the 140mph Firebird cluster scans???
