Received my Chrome Tacho dials today..was just wondering if any of you other guys who ordered them had fitted them yet..or if Diemond had any ideas about the best way of fitting them?
I'm assuming I have to remove the instrument binnacle....
Cheers Guys
remove the binacle, dead easy put teh steering wheel in the lowest position and pull on teh binacle, voila it comes off.
there are 3 or 4 screws (all visible that hold teh perspex cover over teh tacho, remove and voila there you go.
Fantastic ! Thanks Mark!
no problem, i suggest you wear latex gloves when installing them as if you get fingermarks on teh rings themselves or the perspex inside it will be a pain.
Even better! Great stuff! Incidentally have you installed yours yet Mark? Are they a good fit?
how much are they out of interest? as i think they look really good. but i think you need to match ity with chrome heater control dials...

Prices and pictures on there..34 Euro's for the rings
Speak to Dieamond, apparently he has an open order with the company now so can order parts ad hoc.
Incidentally these Dial rings are not the same as the TTE ones that fit on the outer edge of the binnacle, rather they sit inside the binnacle itself.
ah was wondering why it all had to come off! 34e sounds reasonable.

s:shock: :shock: s:shock: s:D :D s:D I've always been happy with my Girls more modest cup..but i guess some people have higher standards! s:lol: :lol: s:lol:
I think they're on special offer at the mo..at 34 Euros. I initially thought they were like the TTE ones..but if you want the TTE ones they cost an arm and a leg as you have to buy all the other items that go with it..
a bit undecided after seeing the pics, i think the tte ones look better but as u say, you have to buy all the other kit as well s:( :( s:(
I may be selling My TTE ones soon, if your interested?
ref the heater rings, if you liek teh 03 ones they are approx £7 each and will fit pre03 with a little igenuity, thats what I have.
mine haven't arrived yet s:-( :-( s:-(
i take it they glue straight on?
I'm hoping you don't have to glue them...I prefer the TTE ones..but I'm not buying all the other stuff to get them.
Mark do you prefer these to the TTE, is that why your selling?
Alternatively Tom you could go in on a group buy on the TTE parts and see if anyone else would be willing to have the other parts off you?
possibly, I need to see them in teh flesh soon, whichever I like less will be up for grabs.
Ah i see.. I was buying these ones as a cheap alternative..if they're no good I''ll be getting some TTE so if anyone wants anything apart from the dial surrounds I might be in on a GB.
Sean/Grant noticed you had fitted your chrome pieces..haven't fitted mine yet was just wondering what glue you used? Given your reponses i'm tempted to put them on Ebay.....any pictures?
Cheers,
Mike
No pictures, as I dont have the car with me today, but the look fine. I used the double sided trim and badge tape I seem to use for everything. Using a scalpel to cut four tiny slivers of the stuff on the back of the rings means you cant see the tape, and if you change your mind you can take them back out with no ill effects.
I think they look quite nice! Not perfect, but pretty good...
Cheers for the re-assurance Grant, I'll give them a go
Is this the stuff you'd recommend?

In-case anyone else wants some!
thats teh stuff but priceless, £1.88 for teh tape, £11 to deliver it.
find your local brown brothers, the 3M stuff will be cheaper and larger.
Haha yeah ! I wasn't going to order it at that delivery price! Almost ordered some paint recently at that wsa £4 with delivery of £15.
Bit like buying Ice on the internet...
Halfords sell slightly smaller reels of 3M stuff. Its what I use for more fiddley stuff. Make sure you have a very sharp scalpel though.
Cheers Grant, have various sizes of scalpel... s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted: from my Nitro car models I hasten to add!
Thanks again
