Want want want now!
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Found the easiest place to pic up live was on the back of the loom for the front fog lights
Mine was green live and white black neg then taped the box thing to the top of the loom behind the dials all fitted in nicely without squashing everything
If it helps anyone   s:D :D s:D  
Thanks for the comments I'm really pleased with the look

I know there will be no import duty. I am just not sure if I have to pay VAT though. My googling has been very inconclusive!

You have paid vat in Poland.
Thats how you can buy all the fags and booze in france/spain etc cheaply.

A big thank you to Simon (Glubux) for your help and your step by step guide
will post better pictures later

How did you fit the chrome rings on the carbon look binnacle?
I have both the rings and the carbon style binnacle, which is essentially just a cover over the stock part. The cover results in a reduction in the diameter of the three holes so the rings no longer fit! I desperately want to achieve the look you've got there, so please share the black magic you used to do it

It's a cover. I have the same one and it's just an extra layer with a pattern on it.
Here they are side by side.

If they were the same diameter, the rings would just slot in.
Still, I notice you seem to have a similar problem to me where the rings don't go inside.

I couldn't believe it either until I failed to fit the rings in. I looked at the moulded part numbers behind the two binnacles and saw they were identical. Then I noticed the carbony bit is an extra layer.
Well at least I know it's possible to have best of both worlds, all I need to do is go back in time three years and ask the original owner how he modded the rings to fit!

That must be it. I'll see if I can still get them from Mr T and write back with a part number if I do.

They're the ones I have at the moment  s:) :) s:) . They seem to only fit the stock binnacle (and they do fit very well in case anyone is thinking about buying them).
