220mph.....we need to up the motor a little other wise we'll be depressed about never getting more than half way...(legally anyway!!!)

Sadly enough I hit 140 to 150 with great regularity. VDO also makes a 160MPH speedo but,I opted for the one in the Esprit. Who knows, with enough tweeks to the motor,changing back to my taller final drive, (and a really big tailwind) maybe the car will see 190. Then again.......

Tell you what, judging by the price a set of the Lockwood Dials i originally sorted, are fetching on ebay, wish i had kept a few sets for myself !

£51 and rising!!!!!

Always amazes me G, how people pay more on ebay than you can buy them brand new, suppose its something to do with the convience ?

the lotus nose badge does it for me......

Just bought Lockwood dials for the main gauge cluster (£38.04 delivered)
The three subsiduary dials are being replaced completely.

Before I start to dismantle the dash, does anyone have any 'tips' which may save me time and skinned knuckles!

I note that several members have installed extra panel lights - is this an advantage, or would replacing all the panel bulbs be adequate maybe with a higher wattage bulb?
