Cheers buddy, yeah I think it's quite a nice little upgrade, you can get chrome rings that sit inside each dial which look quite good too on them, but think I'm leaving these ones as they are. Looks neat and subtle

Yeah I'll be honest I did like the idea off them but after seeing a set in the scrappy with them in I went right off them looks a lot smarter as just a standard tigra clock

Tigra clocks

Glad there was only an 11mile difference so can't complain there and couldn't hold on for another 11 mile just wanted them fitted haha

If you want the rev counter correct, take it out and swap the rev counter board over. Remove carefully to ensure you don't break connectors but as long as the stepper motors the same it should be a straight swap. It's just a couple of torx screws.

Ok. Super quick how to. Just stripped an old one down to shoe steps.
Start by splitting front from clocks. Finger nails should do.

Remove three torx screws. T10 I think.

Use plastic tool to gently lever rev counter out. I used a ruler I had to hand.

Mine came out in two parts. Board stayed put.

If this happens carfully lift the board out with fingers. Don't bend pins that connect to connector at the back.

Swap this bit. And reassemble. Carfully not to bend pins.

Looking at the time stamps of my posts. That's how long it took. But then I've stripped and clocked one or two.

Bought a full set of arch spats the other day £7 a corner which I thought was a good price so got them all primed up today ready for painting when I decide wether to gloss black them in Arden blue them to match the body

So the day finally came that was well needed, finally got new springs and shocks right round got 40mm drop springs which I was glad about because 60 would off been too low for practicality but it's far better now doesn't roll anymore is 100times firmer so I'm really really happy with it here's a pic
