No. My wiring loom doesn't have the green wire for the rev counter. At the moment not gonna bother wiring it up. Too much to do.

Re: speedo needle removal
I have no rev gauge either so im a happy bunny right now if you can photoshop up some clocks was just thinking would the dash lights come through if you just stuck paper clocks over standard ones?

No they wouldn't and that's why nobody has uploaded them,stanc3w0rks wrote:I have no rev gauge either so im a happy bunny right now if you can photoshop up some clocks was just thinking would the dash lights come through if you just stuck paper clocks over standard ones?

the Lockwoods are 30 quid because they work and if it was that easy everyone would be selling them
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Re: speedo needle removal
Lol. Well I figured no one else has done it. So if it works why not let everyone have it. Well the original dials are metal of all things! So what I was thing is carefully cut out all the numbers etc so the lights do come through.

Re: speedo needle removal
Yea hope it works out. But white clocks with white numbers? i was thinking some red headlight tint or something between the clocks and your custom clocks to make the numbers stand out? Just a thought

Re: speedo needle removal
It's not metal it's a special plastic that's hard like metal but it transparent
I'm not having a go at you put I think your wasting your time, your not the first to try this and you won't be the last but if it worked it would be common knowledge at this stage

Re: speedo needle removal
No. It's metal. I have personally had them out and been touching them. It's metal. It's also not transparent. It's solid black. But I'll give it a go anyway.

Re: speedo needle removal
If it's not transparent how does it light up? Obviously the black part isn't transparent it's not ment to be otherwise you wouldn't see the numbers, the black part is like half a mil thick and is a cover so that the numbers stand outnewbiecorsa wrote:No. It's metal.
