RS2 style S2 dials - interest?

[Rusty]

I've been on the lookout for an RS2 speedo for ages and as no one has contacted me regarding the replacement of a peeling item, thus I must conclude that this is just not an issue with the RS2 dials.

So....

Is there a market for RS2 white replica dials designed to fit the S2 clocks? This would be a set of 7 (main and aux.) white dials (not S2 grey) and would be calibrated for the S2 speedo (to save the horrendous upgrade cost of an RS2 item).

To differentiate these dials, they could have the addition of the 180mph or 300kmh marker, although this could look a little offset, perhaps to be balanced with an 8k marker on the tacho.

Prices would be similar to the S2 dials and thus a fraction of the normal cost of upgrading to RS2 clocks and aux dials and would give mostly the same look, satisfactory for al but the most detailed obsessed enthusiast.

I will also speak to Bo about dial bezels to complete the look

is there a big difference?

Yes rs2 one's are easier on the eyes and light up red rather than orange like the s2.

[Rusty]

I've seen a few people go to the effort of sourcing RS2 instruments at a very high cost and thought that this might be a nice option if the OE S2 dials have peeled anyway...

I'd be up for it!

Here's an autistic impression of what I was thinking

[CliveH]

spot on!

I'll be in if I can't find a set of RS2 clocks. Still looking!

[Rusty]

Just had a request for these again. I need 3 firm orders, preferably 4 to follow it up. Can either do the extended dial design above, which will take longer, or some S2 style dials in RS2 white... please post any interest below.

How about offering just a single S2 grey OEM style speedo face but calibrated up to 180?

You might find that many more folks want to upgrade their speedo for Autobahn use without wanting to go to the hassle and expense of changing all 7 gauges.

Cheers for the suggestion Si. There are many alterations that are a nice idea but aren't viable due ot the cost of design. As I've had a request for RS2 white dials I'll be sticking with that concept for the moment but there's nothing stopping me getting a batch of extended dials made in S2 colours, once the RS2 reps are sorted.

[Acidburn]

These are well worth it as so much easier on the eye's at night and light up a proper red not orangey like s2 one's

looking forward to these
