    Wanted: Original Speedo dial face

    Thought there might be a few of these becoming available after the plasma set group buy (so dont cut them off!) ! Im looking to replace my speedo face which has the classic peeling problem.

    cheers

        I have posted several times in the plasma thread as I too want a set of faces, but got no replies Actually, I only need a rev counter face, but would buy a whole set if in good condition (obviously second to Paul in this thread).

        So come on guys, with so many of you changing to plasma gauges, have a heart and sell us your boring old faces....unless the plasmas can be made in a orange-red colour range (Any ideas Bo?)

        Cheers n

        P.S. I have removed the needles several times on the spare clocks (standard black Audi coupe ones) that I have with no problems, although on another set the needle will not budge. Are there 2 different methods of needle attachment?

          Im sure someone will be removing the needles rather than cutting the dials.
          Mine were so ruined that i just cut them anyway.

          I suggest you check again in a week or so as that will be when people start fitting them.

          Cheers.

            I've got a spare tacho face Si.
            Sorry. I haven't been following the Plasma Gauge thread, so I would've missed your post.
            Let me know if you want it, and I'll see if I can find it.

              why would you cut them? flick the needles off with two spoons and unscrew the face

                  Will, not all the needles come off cleanly - some appear to be bonded on. In the plasma thread, someone managed to drag the guts out of the tacho with the needle still attached.
                  Never show a fool a half built house.
                  Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

                      Thats what Ive been wondering actually after mulling it over Ive decided I personally prefer the red but like the plasma idea! Bo's dials certianly look good in that respect - nice job mate. Re the cutting I was just being flippant in case anyone was tempted to use nailclippers as mentioned in the thread! I (we) need your dials!!
