Love the dials Mike but will you please get a new number plate - the one with the grafitti on it lets your car down  

Or you could just photoshop it out  

Is that better Chops?....HAPPY NOW

[Jim]

Now thats a problem, given that I have superglued the glass back on ....So to fix it I would need to replace the whole housing, and it just so happens I have a spare but it is Max's., ....Thanks for the advice though Jim, will give that a go.

How did you fit them? did you not remove the whole intrument's panel (just a few screws) and then separate the dials from the surround (also a few screws) place the new dials in position (held in place with a bit of silicone on the back) then do the thing I said earlier about refit the needle's, refit the surround, then refit the intrument panel, then Bob's your uncle

No need to reomove the clear plactic or seperate it from the housing

Yeah I see what you mean now Jim, I fitted the whole panel back at once, but yes you are right it can be done without the housing in place, cheers

No Problems Mate

When are you back up in Scotland as we're having a meet at easter of the Jockular Omega

Yeah afraid they are a bit of a nightmare as they are not exactly a perfect fit, what I done was stick them on with superglue, taped them in place first, glued them from underneath, let them set...then I took them off this then left the residue, as i decided to spray the housing, then I just done repeated the process again.

Hope this helps, just do one at a time though

No problems doing whatever you want to the housing Mike... like i said, the ONLY bit I need back is the Clock assembly itself.,.. for the Mileage... as it's the original one from My Elite.

should you ever need another housing , I have YET ANOTHER spare still anyway....  

that spray looks rather nice mate.  I wasn't sure at first, but in your motor, i reckon it's tasty!
