love what you did with the dials...look very similar to mine. Only difference is that my fuel and temperature guage go from left to right rather than up and down.

What colour do they light up??

how you make them?

 

[cm246]

thank you for your comments.
to make them you just take them off scan them photoshop them a bit print them and stick them on the existing ones simple as that

Hi
That looks really good
Is it difficult to take the instrument cluster apart to get the bit out to scan? I might have to have a go at that.

When I had my SX clocks apart yesterday, I could not see how to get the Speedo and tachometer pointers off. I will butcher my old Base MK2 clocks to investigate (as its your Birthday Icestorm ). I will post the dials so you can Photoshop them your self’s.

The clock faces are now in my gallery

To be honest with you is not the easiest thing to do. I used my old dials wich dont work anymore so be carefull. I could have given you the scanned images but i formated my hard disk a wile ago and it was one of the thing that i forgot to save the!(and a video with jenna jameson ).

LOL I thought it was OK - But didn't check its not to scale .

Just looking round the scanner’s options - will post when it prints from to scale

once actually finished, im guessing it would be a case of get the "ole spray glue" out an stick them on top?

charlie

 

[cm246]

yes mate just stick them on top

 

[woohoo]

well, with the help of louie and his pics and my little bro and his laptop (as pc doesnt have photoshop) ive made some new dials in red! look ace pleased with them as they are my first attempt at PS'in anything

speedo dial looks a little bit dodgy but nuthin mr. stanley knife wont be able to sort out lol

printed one off for a test fit, seems to be to scale! fingerscrossed!

Re: red dials

test fit shows that they are to scale, i unfortunatley ran out of spray glue and didnt realise

the ink has dried properly and now seems more..... PINKY but the surround for my dials is red already so should provide a nice contrasting effect. lol
