Blinding spot Sir ;)

Tis one of my favourites, bought a load then realised I'd just filled the cupboard up with homebrew so it had to be put on display!

It's all a bit phone camera'y today I'm afraid

Orig dash

Oooh, two rev counters

Woo, it fits :D
Image
Bugger, I got it a bit twisted

Night view... camera doesn't pick it up to well though. The green isn't quite right yet, but not too far off. The light isn't really as diffused as I'd like either but it's more promising that I thought it might be!

To get more evenly distributed light, I guess one need to have thicker material of green?

With original green stuff light is running inside of green to produce more even glow afaik.

It however does look really good already, imo, even colour is not quite right yet, it looks like that it is more evenly distributed than with my white paper face plates.

Now your problem is that to get it perfect, you would need close to 1mm thick green, maybe water cutter project from odd bits lying around? :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I'm really sorry about this Chris, particularly when you've spent so much time on the car :-(

How about putting it into storage somewhere, while you slowly get the parts together again?

Cheers

Glad to hear Chris. Nice work on the dash, where'd the 8000rpm dial come from then?

Hi Jon.
An 8000 dial is a smiths one.

Hi Chris.
I used to brew my owen beer. I stopped when the last batch came out at 9% by volume :D
Cheers Mark.

That tach is a VDO, NOT a smiths ;)

I just spent some time working out how they worked, then making sure it was acurately calibrated to my new face.

When I get the faces a bit better, I might do an exchange scheme.

I'm still tempted Speedy, but def want glt wheels too :)
