Custom Gauge Facias (With pics)

[heehaw]

I had enough of the overlay, can't see it at night as we all know. Since there is no mph replacements readily available I thought I'd make my own, I mean, how hard can it be!!

After footering about with software I came up with a scale template.



Next this was printed off and compared with the original.



And test fitted with repainted needle.



Happy with that so, I have ordered some translucent plastic which should hopefully arrive soon, and I will then stick vinyl on that to give me a nice quality finish, more photos to follow once that is done.

Then doing the rev counter and temp gauge so its all matching.

how did you replace them? i struggled to get the case off over the mileage trip turny thing on the side of the dial..

do they just pull out or something??

Very small philips head screwdriver is needed to get the tripmeter knob off

Aye, just a glasses/watch screw driver.

Plastic has arrived but I'm off on holiday. More pics to follow.
