Default Restoring a 69 speedometer

Took the speedo out of the Vette. Unit is functioning, but the face had surface rust. Tried to clean it, well that didn't work!! Now I need a replacement. Started a search online for just the face. All I can find is a complete replacement, or A set of stickers. STICKERS!!! Really!!!. Does anyone know if a reproduction speedo face is being produced anywhere.?

If you do a search on here you'll find a instrument rebuild service than can resurface your faceplate(s)

I had a tach with the wrong redline for a BB car. Found a face at Corvette Central. Or try this one:
