Black Union Jack gauge faces?

Anybody know where I can get the Cockpit Specialties Black/Grey Union Jack gauge faces? I have tried their website but you can't buy directly from them, the link takes you to an ebay account that hasn't been active in quite a while. Any help would be appreciated.

Try Outmotoring here are mine:

I really like them and they were pretty easy to install.

Wow that is cool. Anyone have links to an install sheet? Just curious how much of a pita it is to install.
I like the chrome rings also. The combination really makes the dash pop.

ImagoX did a detail write-up here on NAM. Do a search on a thread by him and OutMotoring and I'm sure you'll find it. I'll look too.
Here's the link: OutMotoring Install
and here is another picture though it isn't that great:

Yup, I have them as well and the install wasn't *that* bad. It was more scary than anything else because I'd never taken apart a dash in a car before. But it was no big deal once I got into it. Just follow ImagoX's how-to and you'll be fine.

The outmotoring gauges are nice, but I like the stock numeral graphics of the Cockpit Specialties faces. Anybody know where to get those?

Thanks for the link. Looks fairly simple, although I do dread the word "pry".

the hardest thing is getting the dash panels removed and the covers off the needles (I painted mine since I was doing black faces). They pop off to the side....not straight off. Once I realized that, it was simple.
