Still looking for a North center scale for the G5500. Several years ago there was a thread about the G5400, however the 5500 goes 450 degrees. Anyone mess with this issue?

Mine was one of the threads for alternative center scale for 5400. I created mine by taking the scale off the meter, scanning it at as higher res as I could. I loaded the BMP ( preferred to jpg because of losses in compression) into Paintshop Pro, re-lettered it with the appropriate figures and airbrushed the scanning blemishes.

I printed it onto a self-adhesive label ( took several attempts to get size exactly right) and stuck it on the back of the existing scale. couldn't tell it from the original.

Hope this may help.
