gudz never noticed that well spotted! quoted you on another forum :D

looks good :) did you get the upgraded inverter to swap colours ? and very impressed that you didnt snap any needles !!.
-
No just standard innverter. I did snap the rev counter needle had to go to the breakers to get another but it still doesnt work properly as the pin came out along with the needle!!
-
you cant pull out the needles on the mx !!. ive got a spare i think.
well when i changed mine, everyone on mx3.com shouted at me, " NO DONT PULL THE NEEDLES OFF !! "
:)
-
Learnt me a lesson there then! did you slide you dials over the existing ones then? think Im going to have to try again on yet another set…
On a positive the RX7 wheel fits nicely and we got the horn working.
-
ye you have to slide the neddles through the wholes its fiddly but not impossible
dont worry i broke a needle when i did mine :lol:
-
Ar nice one cheers Jay. I better redo the whole cluster then as I bet a few of the needles are in wrong position now also> I did paint them fuscia pink with the wifes nail varnish though, it looks proper mental yo :D
-
Sorry for late reply but jay is right. The mph and rev ones are easy. The fuel and temp are bit fragile. I undone brass screws on back of cluster motors the dials could both be installed pointing up. Then reset. We need a how 2 on this sort of thing as it always crops up
-
Yep Im with you now. Its funny though the gauges where the pointer came off but the needle stayed in work ok, its just the rev counter if you have a spare intact? that would be well handy :) I got to take it out again anyways as one of the alu rings was a really loose fit and is now rattling around alot!
Some better pics from today though.
-
Hmm they are the colour I want to match my engine :cry:
-
ive got a spare cluster with mph and rev dials, i can remove one of you can have both, both may mean more p&p tho.
-
Lookin' tasty!
