Alan, yes, it includes the tacho, temp/petrol gauges. All the dials are easy fit, ie. you don't remove the needles.?[/quote]

It seems impossible that you wouldn't have to remove the needles. How could that be?

The dial faces have a hole where the needle goes through, its very simple once you've seen it.
Are you in on this lotus15 ?

Before i go ahead with this order, i need to confirm that the dials are the same in the federal elan as in the uk one, afraid i'm a bit ignorant here, don't even know if our American friends use KPH or MPH, can one of our friends across the pond please confirm this ?

by **Monty** » Tue 18.04.2006, 23:00

Paul,

If u could ask if they will do black with white writting as i would prefer them but if it`s a no then i`ll just go for the white.

From what I've seen they are the same.

Before I order is there any word on the black with white numbers?

Sorry, when I read the post originally I read it as he would be back on Monday the 17th, and not a week from the 17th. I'm in no rush so I'll be patient.

Paul sorry for the late reply, I have been away from a computer for the past week, so haven't hada chance to reply. I'm in for a set in white including the fbt. Just one question are we able to get them without lockwood being plastered across them?

Cheers Chris

Chris, i really don't know ?, fitted some on my sons Golf & can't say i noticed Lockwood on them, but then again ?, have you any experience of this then ?

Paul, Sorry for leaving it late, just got your pm! Been away on business. If I am not to late a full set in silver would be nice! LP.

Ink me in for a full set in white please.

Know anyone near Camberley (surrey) who can fit them? I'm better with computers then cars.......

Houdini wrote: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.

Houdini, if they can do this, do you want a full set ?

I know Monty, i ain't forgot :lol:

, the question will be asked tomorow !, i was just waiting for Houdini to confirm if he wants a set, if they will do these colours, but i'm gonna go ahead & place the order tomorow. What if they want extra to do these colours, because i don't think there in there standard range, now i know your mate ain't short of a bob or two, but what about you ?

by **Paul.P** » Thu 27.04.2006, 20:31

Order was placed today, should be about 10 working days !.
Sorry Monty & Houdini, the guy ( Steve Kendrew ), said it wasn't worth considering doing just a couple of sets of the black with white letters, he said the reason they are doing these so cheap is because were using the calibra turbo dials that have already been sorted, & to stray away from there standard colours would cost to much, so ive ordered you a set of white ones Monty, as per your instructions.
When the dials arrive, i will sort postage out inform you all of total cost.
