Title: MR2 speedo dial Options
Post by: BigMick on December 10, 2018, 12:38
Hi,

I can see on the internet a ton of the el white dial faces for sale for the roadster but not many black dial sets, does anyone know of anywhere that does black dials or alternative coloured but in MPH for use in my facelift MR2.

I found these pics on the net and think they are from a member on here, I think these are stunning and would be perfect if they were in MPH but I cant find anything similar anywhere.

does anyone know of anything similar for sale?

Mick

They are not cheap and a pain to fit but I like mine!

Very nice. Wonder what the big hole ones look like, no need to remove dials seems like less fitting hassle but may not look too great.

I didnt go for the large hole ones because you would see the different colour behind.

The temp.and fuel ones arent too bad if fill up with fuel first and fit the temp once the engine is fully warmed up as you know where they should be pointing. The speedo and rec counter are the hard ones as you have to lever them over the zero marker pin and note where they come to rest (imagine -20 mph) so you can try and replicate when you reassemble. I would come back from a drive in mine and note the speed against the sat nav and then pull off the binnacle and plastic screen then pop off the needles and try and reposition them to try and get them accurate again. I did this a lot!
Revs I used the torque app to see how accurate it was and move as needed.

What holds these in, is it just the perspex plastic pressing it on or do you need to use adhesive?

The moman ones have adhesive pads that stick it onto the existing one.

I discovered the hard way that you need to put them near the needle holes though or the extra width stops the needles rotating properly.

Good to know, I guess I will order them. Shame nobody knows what the big hole ones look like, I know you will see the white but I wonder how bad it looks.

What does it mean by "Send us a photo of your counter" for the mormon dials? And is there a heater dial kit available from them to match? Can't find anything on their site.

Also how are these wired in. Just seen there's extra wiring for each gauge. Thought this would be using the original lighting but with different bulbs.
