I don't suppose there is anyway of getting black with white letters is there? The reason I'm asking is because the Autometer gauges I bought are that combination and I wanted them to match the main instruments. Let me know as I would be willing to pay an additional cost if available.

Assume this also includes the tacho and temp/petrol gauges?
I am interested depending on how difficult it would be to fit them...

Alan, yes, it includes the tacho, temp/petrol gauges. All the dials are easy fit, ie. you don't remove the needles. I think its quite easy to fit the main dial cluster, as others have done before, as for the FBT, its a bit of an unknown quantity, Monty has removed the original faces to send to Lockwood for scanning & reported it can be done with care, ive done ones on other cars, & once youve actually got to the face, there dead easy to fit.
Gareth, what colour do you want ?

Thanks for the explanation Paul. I'm reckoning on a full set in off white/cream. Just wondering what colour the illuminated numbers will be though or is this dictated by the colour of the bulbs behind the gauges?

Alan

by **Paul.P** » Thu 13.04.2006, 12:19

The illuminated numbers will be whatever they are on the calibra turbo dials, perhaps someone can come in here & confirm ?, we did it this way to keep costs to a minimum.

A bit late, but if possible I'll have a full set, in white, please.

This maybe a silly question but how do the dials attach :?:

Are they all screwed into place like the Voltmeter in Montys description ? The main cluster dials look like they are glued.

From the ones ive done on other cars, they simply have little sticky pads on the back. Done several Golf's, Escorts, they don't move once installed.
