Hmm, that could take a bit longer. Seem to remember they were a very "interesting" colour :D

Thanks Pete & Chris for your help! Swapped the speedo over last night and fitted my new 6-dial dash this morning and am really chuffed! I just love that econ gauge - I know it's pretty pointless but its great fun watching it jump all over the place. Hard to keep me eyes on the road :)

While I was at it I fitted an interior light delay relay (located just behind the instrument panel on my LHD car) - which means at night I can look at my nice new dash just a little bit longer after shutting the car door :)

Unfortunately, the bayonet connection on the speedo cable disintegrated in my hands when removing it from the instrument panel, and now it's just stuck in without anything securing it in place. Oh well, at least I'll know where the fault is should my speedo stop working ...

Aukki, how're you getting on with your Smiths bits?
