new dials for bravo

hi all ive just bought my self some lockwood dials and i was wondering how easy they are to fit and how do i get that plastic off that covers the dials ..........there on order at the mo ....also im getting angel eye spot lights .....:D

fiat bravo 1.6 16v
private number plate,
full powerflow exhaust system with 5" back box,
tints all round, 17" fox racing alloys,lowerd,colour sony head unit ,two twelve inch kenwood subs,two tvs in sun visors and a ps2,chrome M3 mirrors with neon surround neons in footwell .........will this modding ever end .............. i dought it ;)

haynes manual will tell u exactly how to remove plastic from over the dials.

i havent actually had any experiece with the bravo dials but when i changed them on my nova it was a nightmare. if u have to remove the needles from the dials then make a note of where there sitting position is. by that i mean pull the neddle back over the stopping pin and see where the needle sits to.

if you dont and get it wrong all your gauges will be incorect and there well hard to set back up again.

like i said ive not changed my bravo dials so it may be totlay differnt. but from my experience i wouldnt waan try changing any dials again.

Gud Luck! and if u do it get some pictures posted!..

ya have lockwood white dials on mine, they were not too bad to fit. one thing though, try disconnect the battery first as i didn't and when i plugged everything back in, the air bag light stays on. neds to be reset at fiat main dealer....

look sweet though!

Just bought some NEW lockwood dials off ebay - £6 - total bargain:D, not fitted them in yet - bit of car trouble:( the guy that sold them didnt state they were for a bravo, just said were for fiat so no one knew exactly which car they were for so no-one would bid so I asked him. Keep us posted on how you get on, coz once i have sorted my fantastic non-leaking sunroof(not) then I am hoping to fit mine!
