I like the look of the white gauges, did you paint the gauge and clock hands or change them for the red ones?

I got my gauge overlays from a guy in Cambridge but they where from a company called, http://www.whitegauges.net/. One can of satin black paint and one silver paint pen. I did them about a year ago and they still look 8-)

Mine did that when I put it back in, the bulb holders appear to have a habit of jumping out of their sockets when you reinstall the the cluster :roll:

One of my bulbs has popped out of a gauge. Now my aircon controller lights up when I put the park brake on!

Don't you hate it when that happens............... I have two bulbs in the wrong place, my left hand indicator now use's the ignition warning light as the indicator warning light and the clock in the dash only lights up at night when I use main beam :D

Gotta love them old cars. I have a random indicatior delete option going on at the moment too. Every so often the indicators just decide to not work :scratch:

I can hear something short out back there when it happens but can't find any offending items :dontknow:

That's one reason i want to take the car apart. It's starting to need lots of jobs doing which are culminating in one big job.

Anyway, have your thread back.
