Hello; I'm fairly new to Illustrator and I'm trying to fiure out the best (balance of accuracy and time) method of recreating a vintage speedometer. This is the dial that I need to recreate and I need this to be in vector form which is why I've chosen Illustrator for the project. Is there anyone that could give me some pointers on how to best go about doing this. I did play around with the dashes/width point vs gap and that seem to work okay, but there must be a better more accurate way of accomplishing this. Here is the vintage dial that I'm trying to recreate. Also, the 3 semi-circles are not really the problem, it's the hash marks that I'm needing help with.

Thanks for any help that can be given, it is very much appreciated.
