This is mostly about a vertical card compass, but may be more generally applicable.

Anyone know of a company that can produce a custom lubber line (the little jet airplane outline) that's always used on vertical card compasses? I can imagine doing it myself, but figured I'd explore commercial possibilities first. I'm just thinking of replacing the jet outline with a Charger top-down view. I really like vertical card compasses, but the jet would be severely anachronistic in my 1930s styled plane. I just dropped a line to Falcon (one of the makers of VCCs), and they say they can't do custom silkscreening.

I would also be interested to hear of anyone having success having other custom gauge faces made. I recall someone recently had some luck working with UMA to make, I think, a custom electronic tachometer, which necessarily involved a non-stock face.
