Ford Cortina Mk2 GT gauge lettering replacement, any ideas?

[comfortablynumb]

Hi all,

Now the weather has deteriorated to the point where spending time underneath a car in the snow is not something I actually want to do, I've turned my attention to bits I can work on in front of the fire!
I've got a set of Gt or E cortina gauges (52mm) which aren't in bad shape, but the faces have some corrosion and need repainting satin black. Obviously doing this will lose the lettering on the gauge, and I've so far been unable to match the letters with anything (letraset?) to replace it.
Has anyone found a good supply to match these?
Here's a pic to show what I mean
Thanks in advance all

Could you scan it (or take a decent square-on photo), import it into a paint-like program, restore it, then print it out? If you printed on decent white card, the only concern would be getting a black that doesn't fade out, but maybe an on-demand printer could do it on a proper printer for not much money? Get a load of them done, sell the remainder.

Draw it up after taking measurements to duplicate the typeface in a program capable of saving as a vector (svg) format such as Sketchup (free). Then get a water transfer printed.
