that might not be a bad idea actually. the stop pin is stopping them from lying flat on the scanner. have to ring a scrappie anyway. so i might get a price for them.

They might not actually have to be snapped off. it seems to be some rubber at the bottom that holds them. so they might come out easy.

ah cool. they do look sweet. tip tho. the needles are not the easiest to take off. and even harder to put back in the exact right spot. so if u are using nail varnish just paint them while they are on/ if ur gonna use spray paint id tape off the rest of the dials.

yeah, thats the wisest option. less chance off messing the position of ur needles. turn the ignition on to moves the needles from the stop pins. let the engine heat up for the temp
