Re: [DML] Re: Replacing Instrument Cluster Needles (UV marking)

I wouldnt know if the others are effected by the weight. I seen a show 
about restoring Muscle cars and they were doing a speedo on a Muscle 
car that had a magnetic driven speedo and they said if you were going 
to do anything to it to freshen it up and make it look new again you 
should just take a colored high-lighter marker and it would look new 
again but not to use paint because it would effect the speed showing on 
the speedometer.
