homemade dials...

[ColinP]

wasnt liking the km/h and the tacky overlay on my speedo so i thought i would knock up my own dials
so with photoshop a printer and laminator here's what i came up with....

Not bad at all. Curios to see how they perform at night.

[Neosophist]

Hey they look good!

How are they at night?

I made dials for my NC24 but to get them to work good at night i had to make a clear acrylic disc for a new dial and then print the numbers onto transparent film which i bonded to it.

Those look awesome! You should sell them.....

Cheers for the replys

never took a foto wth standard speedo bulbs at night just with blue led's but the standard ones looked ok too..
the original speedo disks are used, i just scraped the black paint/numbers of them so i was left with a clear plastic disk, just had to stick the new faces on to the disks..


night foto...



gonna take them back off again and mess about with the reflectors in the light housing, led's give a patchy light as the bulbs are so bright, didnt have that problem wth the standard bulbs....

Those look awesome! You should sell them AT A VERY VERY LOW PRICE.....

Wouldn't mind doing this with my nc21's clocks which are also in kMH how easy is it to remove the clocks and fit the dials, any tricks or tips, I don't wana mess them up but the bulb in the speedos gone anyway so need to take em off to fix that!

Cool, Are the clocks backlit?

[iDemonix]

They look quite nice but you REALLY could of picked a better font

[richhemmings]

Love it.
Assuming you scanned in the old as a template?

Think this is a tidy lil job for an afternoon.... :)

I'm diggin' the font by the way! Good Job
