Dials - black background pitted.

[RayD]

And there you have it… job done…

An act of kindness from Paul and I’m back to three jet black dials.

Those who’ve fitted Lockwood dials will know all about the following - but for those who don’t…

The black is on the front of the face - it would have been impossible to repair a see-through one.

The bulb holders do need a ¼ turn in either direction to remove them – as at happened I left them in and removed the wires.

Removing the rim is a bit awkward; I used 4 pieces of shimming and 2 screwdrivers.

Replacing it is relatively easy – with a bit of fiddling it almost screws back on.

7mm spanner for the back nuts.

The bulbs appear to be the same as the heater controls - Halfords No.286 1.2w

Any more black dials about for auxiliary dials please ?

I need an oil pressure gauge, too!
