There's a compass tool in gimp. What I do is load the face texture in gimp, click it where the center of rotation is and then drag it to the index tick I want and it gives an angle. Sometimes you have to normalize the value (subtract it from 90 or whatever) depending on where your needle starts in the model, but it is a very accurate method. Take the maximum value for the gauge property, divide that into the angle that points to the index representing that value and you have a factor. If the indexes are not linear, which I believe can happen with an oil pressure gauge, then do an interpretation table instead of factor. With the interpretation table just figure out the angle to each index tick on the gauge, and what value that tick represents (pressure), and make a table of it, starting with the lowest property value first.
