pistonbroke Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 Only thing is, I lost my chrome dial surrounds, sanding off the rubber crap ruined the chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistonbroke Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 Speedhut ones from America, you can get them from miamiGT. They change colour as well, blue or green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 Hey - I like them! Cheers for getting these for me Paul, I'm well impressed with them, excellent quality. Only thing is, I had to modify the needles slightly to get the dials on. I've heard of all sorts of horror stories of people having to recalibrate the dials after they've pulled the needles off, see if you can see what I've done.

SatSport Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 so did you manoeuvre the dial faces past the needle or what?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 Yes, the dial faces go over the needles, but only because the needles have now been modded, you'll noticed that at the back of the pointers there is usually an overhang, not anymore I filled them off to get the dials straight over the top.

pistonbroke Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 Good one mate, imagine it was very fiddley to do without taking needles off Nope, just file the back of the needles off. then they slide right over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkey76364 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 That looks great, must have missed it at the meet lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 I'm sure Emin (supra TT meister) got mine on with no mods to the needles He must have removed the needles then. There is no way they will slide over while the needles are in situe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickyboy Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 How do you slide it over the fuel and temp gauge when the needles are pointing in different directions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra ST Myster Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 There is no need to do anything with the needles!! dont need to remove them or cut them down, the dials DO fit over no probs, (Just need a bit of Skill Stealth and Stamina) I have done about 10 sets and they all gone over without any mods or removing needles.

pistonbroke Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 How do you slide it over the fuel and temp gauge when the needles are pointing in different directions? You can move the temp gauge so its pointing in the same direction as the petrol one, then slide them over, i'm sure the dials would never go over without the mod, but hey, nevermind, its done now.
