Wouldnt mind some 140MPH ones myself lol! Guessing after 120 is crap (only carried out on private roads ;) )

if I recall a chap in Finland has made white dials as a pdf that you can print off and replace the black ones with...
I think the link is on volvo300power.com

might be on this site too somewhere!

I like the idea of the white dials using blue acetate to make blue lettering

or didnt chesh just fit blue LEDs to his 740 binnacle to achieve the same thing?

Ifyou did a search you would find you can get a 140 mph spedo by modding a early 440 one

I've got a PDF of the white dials on my old comp, found it a few weeks ago. Gut feeling says it was Jani who had it, but could be wrong!!! It's mainly a scan with the colours changed from memory.

I have few scans that I got from some other finn, but I need to find them where I put, there is some in one of my gallery, but I had more useful ones somewhere.

Making them is not too hard though, if you disassemble one instrument panel and have a scanner then it is rather easy to do, printing them out takes few trial and errors perhaps, but should be rather simple task.

I try to check what I find after a week or so, when I return from Lapland, I'm already late leaving there ;)
