Steve Kendrew was the guy i dealt with initially.

I just went to their original site and it redirected me to their new site which is the link I provided.......
dont know about the number on the invoice or ordering direct as I was one in the group buy that you did us......
I guessing redvette could ring either number and ask....see what happens....

redvette6327, would you care to share with us what price they are charging now ?

by **redvette6327** » Thu 22.03.2007, 21:37

The cost was 42 pounds plus 6.95 for shipping to Canada.

That wasn't to bad, did you deal with Steve Kendrew ?, & was that the full set ( main dial & FBT ) ?

I'm assuming that's without VAT (as it's export)?

by **redvette6327** » Fri 23.03.2007, 12:39

I dealt directly with Superdials. The person did not identify themselves. The kit includes all the components. Dash and dials.

Anyone have a problem with the dials not matching the Original ones? I bought the Lock woods recently but the MPH goes up to 160 mph so the dial will not be accurate.

A shame as these are perfect for my track car!

I understand that the Lockwoods do not exactly fit the Elan (mounting holes slightly different). I think Monty was able to fix this the same way he fixes all his problems.....with a knife (tee hee :wink:

). Also, I've read that the speedo might be more accurate with a 160mph dial than with a 170 dial as the Vauxhall uses the 160 dial. Perhaps you can let us know :-D

Of course, the Metal Monkey dials fit perfectly.

I saw the Metal Monkey dials on Nige's car and thought they look really nice.
But made from slabs of steel! :lol:

How silly.

Yes, but veeery thin slabs. And stainless steel too! Of course, they do cost just a bit more than the Lockwoods. But isn't it hard to put a price on a perfect fit? :wink:

by **surfboardfiller** » Mon 26.05.2008, 20:24

Yes, a perfect fit is.. well - perfect, but this is for my track car, so it's a sensitive thing in this case; I'm re building bodywork in Carbon Composite because the original is too heavy! :lol:

by **Paul.P** » Mon 26.05.2008, 21:25

Phil, with 16" wheels, the 160mph dials are a lot more accurate, ive compared the speedo with sat nav up tp 130mph, & it was about 3mph out all the way.
