KbarS Speedometer Glass

[jedblake]

Been driving my bronco regularly and almost forgot about this nice speedometer glass that was purchased from KbarS around 1997. Most of my EB's early restoration parts and mods came from there.

Not sure if other vendors supply something similar or maybe an opportunity for others to pursue.

I worked at KbarS for a month as a summer hire in high school before they moved the shop to North Las Vegas. Not sure if Ken is on here but he and his family were nice folks.

That's a flashback. Made it to the old shop once, new shop once.

I've never seen etched speedometer glass before. These days it wouldn't be a hard thing to do. Print some vinyl stickers for templates and I am sure there are online places to get etching kits.

Is that etched on the inside or the outside?

 

[jedblake]

On the inside. Smooth on the outside

Not sure which shop it was but we visited kbars 20 something years ago.

I'm actually looking for KbarS parts right now so if anyone has any they'd sell I'm interested. Or anything from there actually.

I'd pay good money for a speedo glass like that! Way cool!

That's a neat piece Jed. Thanks for showing that because I have not seen that before. I guess it wasn't listed in their catalog and maybe was only available to employees!;D;D;D

Hmm, don't appear to be a catalog item? I was looking through and old 97 K-bar-S catalog and didn't see it.. Cool even so.!

I don't think they actually sold those, however Patti gave a few away. My Bronco has one as well.

Timing is everything! Very cool piece.

They gave me one when I visited their shop in 1992.
Can’t find it now.
