Well, on eBay I found a "conductive tape".  I'll see if it works.

I know this is an expensive option but it fixes the problem.

As I get older I have continuing less tolerance for electrical stuff not
working and dash-warning lights and gauges not working especially drive me
crazy. This kit solves the electrical gremlins and the white LED lights are
awesome.

Subject: How to fix the foil

Hello all,

I wonder what’s the best way to fix the foil of the instruments.

I did once do careful soldering on it.  But I think, there should be some
more sophisticated way.  Maybe gluing with some conductor glue.  Or using a
tape of some kind.
So, let me know if there is one, please.  These foils are getting real old
and brittle.

Best regards to the most valuable List.
Zoltan
