Stainless steel dials for sale (group buy)

Recommended Posts

Hello :)

Some time ago I started topic about stainless steel dials group buy. You can find all details here:

http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=105580

I finally got test set, installed it into my car after sanding/polishing/putting backgroud colour/converting dash to blue leds - and they looks superb! I would like to remaind, that it is non profit sale, so will be just for our club members for this price. My charge was 1 pound per set to afford buying proper Lee gel sheet, Autosol and pad to polish dials.

There is perfect guide, how to install new dials in your car, made by Heckler.

http://www.internetwork.org.uk/clocks/clocks.htm

Not, that I'm trying to put some plug here, but if you are taking your clocks apart I advise you to convert your lights to blue led's at same time. Heckler knows how to do it, I can also do it. If you are brave enough, you can try it by yourself :)

Few pictures of dials:

First 2 pics made by Pete with pro camera - fully installed.

Next 6 pics are actual pics of dials after sanding and polishing.

Another 2 are dials installed and then working with standard lights background - one bulb behind speed and one behind temp gauge was not working, but you have idea how it looks - it is little whiteish because of Slate Blue gel film colour.

Last 2 pictures are made with my crap phone, but shows you how dials look at night time WITH blue led converted backlight and all blue light converted dashboard.

Similiar dials from metal monkey costs at least 90 pounds. Grab a bargain :)

 

Added: Final version of dials will have warning triangle and main beam symbol cut in dials, there will be no blank holes like here :)

 

Price for this set is 36 british pounds :D

When you putting yourself on list, please do not forget to mention, if you have manual or auto box and if it is possible - mention if you have blue led conversion made in your car, so then I can use lighter blue gel background.

It's easy really, just follow instructions:

http://www.internetwork.org.uk/Dash%20Conversion/dashrem.htm

http://www.internetwork.org.uk/clocks/clocks.htm

 

It do not suppose to take you more than 2 hours. Taking off dash is around 15 - 20 minutes job if you take your time, you are using one philips screwdriver only :) Changing dials require using 2 spoons to take off needles, dials itself are straight swap with old ones. Than you have to put "naked" dials (without transparent cover) into car, connect them, connect odometer part to make your indicators working and have steady run on motorway or some A class road with GPS on to put speedo needle properly. RPM needle can be set up once car is warm at around 700 rpm idling, temp in middle when car is warm, fuel gauge you have to remember how it was set when you was taking needle off. Or do it like me and put full tank of fuel and set fuel needle on full :D

 

Converting dash lights to blue is more tricky, you are required to know how to use soldering iron properly. Other than that - it is straight forward with 6 5mm ultra blue leds and 6 390R resistors :)

I can help with leds if necessary, you would have to send me 4 bulb holders as shown here:

http://www.internetwork.org.uk/led/clock.jpg

because i do not have additional ones...

Or contact Heckler and go for full blue dash convertion :p

Is it case of taking out dash to put those dials on, which is making people to shy away from this offer? I do not get it... I offer you free of charge ss dials for silly money just because I like to do something good for club and response is like ... 10 ppl? Or is it something else? I belive, there is enough people here who saw me enough times and can confirm I'm genuine person, not some kind of scam lol :p If you are scared because dash work, anyone who lives around Wolverhampton or willing to come here can give me a shout and I can put those for small fee :p I belive there will be more members willing to help with this stuff, it is NOT rocket science, I can take off my dash again soon and make pics, how to do it, If you think that those from internetwork are not accurate enough.
